S8 Bushes
Can anyone recommend and point me in the direction of replacement bushes for an S8?
Can they even be bought as stand-alone items or do they come as part of the suspension arm units? I need to replace the upper rear arm inner bushes so I'm thinking upgraded polyones all round is possible? Thanks. |

you will find polybushes incredibly harsh even on an S8 a couple of members have used them and given negative feedback - would suggest a good set of standard ones as previously discussed on here by many

Okay, thank you.
Which supplier/manufacturer would you recommend for the bushes? Last edited by Phil303; 11th March 2014 at 02:40 PM. |

Hiya
This covers it: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6387 The rear uppers take a hammering on the inner bushes due to full steering lock putting a lot of load on the arms as the ram can really give them a good tug. Given how long they last in any case a good quality set will last years and years if you're not doing big miles
