Title: Where to buy rear subframe bushes Omega B 3.2
Post by: drchronic on 04 May 2017, 16:38:45
Hey Guys,

The Omega is in for a service and it has come back with a few problems. One of them being that the rear subframe bushes need replacing.

I cannot find them listed for sale anywhere, would somebody be able to point me in the right direction? I preferably want brand new bushes.

Thanks!

As in rear 'donut' bushes, look a bit like a homburg hat? I know plenty go for pedders poly ones, which last 'forever' get them from monkfish performance if I recall rightly.  :)

Standard bushes should also be available from Vauxhall. I bought some new ones 6 months ago, but cant remember where from.  :-[ ;D

STandard doughnuts available for almost anywhere, around £20 each fro Lemforder etc.  Polys will be around £50 each.

The diff bushes are not available any more.  Nick W made some for his car, I believe Serek was looking at importing some.

Mine will definitely last forever. They are still in the packaging from when I picked them up from TheBoy's house a while back during the group buy.  ::)
I must make an effort to fit them this year.  ::)

Ended up getting the Peddlers poly bushes. Apparently they are the same as the ones used on the Monaro? Anyway should be interesting see what difference it makes if any. Now the rear subframe is out it would be rude to not have it painted.

Obviously searched the wrong place ::)

Pedders are an Australian suspension tuning company. The have a presence in the US and here. Here they are affiliated with Monkfish Performance who happen to be next door... the donuts, EP1145, can be bought from either place from stock.  :y

That's the same for the front poly bushes for the wishbone.
