24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Mine are just starting to crack after 80k miles, genuine fitted by Stealth - still feels fine though but I reckon 100k is a good interval. Kev - there are a pair of genuine VR ones on eBay for £21 each You mean there were ;) ;) ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 14, 2011 I can only thank Ste for the heads up :) Just need a rear beam now to start the refurb on... Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy 0 Posted December 14, 2011 ive just been in to check after buying new injector seals and the rear beam bushes for a G60 are 43 euro each! guess ill be using tax-free form then...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted February 22, 2012 I need to tackle this one some time. I have a spare rear axle - is it easier to clean this up and fit the bushes to this and refit as a complete unit rather than attempting to do the same on the one on the car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted February 22, 2012 Get it blasted and powdercoated first! :) You'll never be bothered to take it off again once it's fitted... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted February 22, 2012 I'd love to, but its too big to fit in my cars so i might just clean and hammerite it instead. This powdercoating business has really got you hooked Stone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted February 22, 2012 i agree with Stonejag. powdercoat everything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted February 23, 2012 I'd love to, but its too big to fit in my cars so i might just clean and hammerite it instead. This powdercoating business has really got you hooked Stone! Actually you can easily fit a rear beam into a Corrado along with 3 people. Just split half the rear seats and away you go, I did it with a VR beam complete with discs etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P3rks 11 Posted February 23, 2012 just to jump into this thread.. Are VR6 rear bushes different to the G60/16v/8v's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted February 23, 2012 Just have some weatbix on the day and some help.... We loosened everything up when removing, both removed the bolts either side after undoing the ABS sensors and down she came! I think I said something along the lines of **** me didn't think it was quite that heavy but with all the items on the beam it all adds up. Mainly because the shape of the beam as its ockward to hold and balance the weight but it all happened smoothly. 3 people, makes re fitting much easier. To be honest, a good wire brush on a grinder and a nice paint job should see similar effects. It's not like it's majorly on show under there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 23, 2012 I think he meant 3 people in the car with it Rams. It's a piece of **** to do on your own. Just support it with trolley jacks front and back and once it's all unbolted lower it down and the do the reverse to refit. I am going to get one powder coated and rebuilt and replace it all in one go. No point trying to do it all on the car and I need the car as a daily.
