Mornin all

great site for a great car, but i was wonderin if anyone has thought of poly bushes for the omega. As i spend most of the day driving over speed humps it knocks out the lower bushes & wrecks the tyres. Be gentle with me its my first post


Thanks everyone

Welcome to the site :)

You may be better posting your bush question in the Omega Help section for better coverage.

I think different bushes have been considered by some, though it appears incorrect fitment (torquing the bolt with car jacked up) is the main cause of premature failure...
