Akinesis 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Just picked up my new Corrado and the first job has got to be replacing the rear rear-beam mounting bushes as they are making an awful noise!! Is this something I can do myself, or do I need a press, etc? The bolts look quite well-weathered - so can I pick up some new ones from anywhere?? That's providing I can get them off!! Would poly bushes be better here or are standards the way to go? Mine's the 2.0 16v, if that makes a difference to anything. Cheers all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted June 23, 2010 it's not the nicest job but do-able at home. much easier with a proper press and bush shaped adapter, but you can make up a puller with a large nut and bolt and washers and simply cut the old ones out. do a search, several descriptions of how to do the job around on the site Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinesis 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Hey, thanks for the reply. Turns out, through a little investigation of my own, that it wasn't the bushes making the noise - it was the suspension! It's sitting so low that when the dampener was full stretch the spring unseated at sat skewed against the piston. Going to raise the car this weekend! But I still need to do the bushes at some point so thanks for the info :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
