Title: Option for rear subframe bushes?
Post by: Temetsy on 15 October 2014, 11:13:00
So the question is that is there any options like super/powerflex or BMW/Cadillac bushes for mig's rear subframe? Going to replace them anyways soon so an "premium" option would be nice  ;)

NOTE: I don't know if the braces pictured would fit the Omega or what benefit they would provide to go to the expense and trouble to make them fit.

Regarding the Pedders EP1168 bushings, they are used to mount that brace and not a substitute for the EP1145.

Not seen that brace before... probably best ignored for Omega purposes as the chassis geometry is totally different :y

EP1145 is what you want :y

Just over £100 from Monkfish, listed as Monaro Rear End Pack (Harrop Diff Cover) :y

There's either Oe replacements from gm or lemforder. Pattern from febi.

Or poly from Pedders.
