yes this ol' chestnut...
i'm weighing up my options. do i...
A) go for standard fit silentblock/hydraulic/oil filled bushes and fork out £40 for the tooling?
-OR-
B) go for a decent quality aftermarket bush (namely Meyle HD) with a 4yr warranty and not worry about a tooling cost as they'll most probably be a rubber type replacement and i can 'slip' them in with a socket?
this never really works very well on forums but if option (A) does anyone have the tooling they could lend me or sell me for <£20?
i understand the bushes have to be fitted a certain way (especially with the 'oil filled' type) im assuming i would have to compensate for a 30mm drop?
finally i know the rear axle is supposed to flex under cornering which creates a kind of toe in on the rears to aid with stability of the rear during cornering. would fitting aftermarket bushes hinder this or should i really be going for the 'oil filled' type?
