Poly Bushes

[drewesq]

I need to replace my rear anti roll bar bushes and thought I would get some poly ones

I have had a quick google but can't find them for my Mk1

Would anyone know where I can get some? A few place have them for the ZR, is the ARB the same diameter?

Thanks

thanks Pete, but I'm still not sure which to get. I just measured the circumference of the rear ARB and it is 60mm so if I divide that by 3.14 it is 19.1mm. Superflex don't do rear ARB bushes at 19mm, only 18mm or 20mm. They do however do the front ones in a 19mm - will the front ones fit?

Powerflex do a 19mm pair for the old shape 400, should I get these? They look like they'd fit!

Measure the diameter with an adjustable spanner if you don't have a vernier caliper, I think it would be more accurate than the circumference divided by pi.

The front and rear aren't interchangeable.

Your rear arb should be 20mm.

19mm measured with adjustable spanner....

so will these for the old 400 work?

Appreciate your help with this :)

Yes, they'll be fine, the zs shares the same rear suspension as the old shape (R8) 200 and 400, also a point of interest that another zs with the wrong rear arb fitted.

Mine is 20mm as the stamp on it confirms (removed it today and sanded it down ready to paint)

Hmmm. well I have triple checked and it is 19mm, and I have ordered some, hope they'll fit! :P

I have just noticed if I try to push/pull the ARB then I hear a clanging noise, hopefully these bushes will resolve....!

Thanks guys
