yo everyone... hope you're all doing well... cambelt done... B going great but the renovation project lurches on... hence the latest request for help/advice/hugs/sympathy etc etc...

workshop manual arrived today so i ordered the trailing arm bush kits... need to know if anyone has taken this job on before (replacing rear bushes) and if there are any little hidden nightmares I should look out for. Anything to be aware of?

Also looking at the schematics it looks like there are a couple of big rubber things designed to stop the arm banging into the upper suspension bit (technical term) where the big spring thingy is... is this right? anyone know the part number?

help/support/advice/wisdom gratefully appreciated.

cheers,

Dan x

Hi dantmjones,

Thanks, I am sure I will have to do one side on my B soon as the other side went a few months ago, it was done when it went in for a service and MOT so I did not get my hands dirty fixing that one.
