Rear Beam Bushes.

[CraigW]

As the title says really.

Can anyone tell me what size the rear beam bushes are? Diameter, length etc.

Im going to go for Powerflex ones for abit more durability with my car being lowered and used as much as it is and after being advised to if I can get them.

Only reason Im asking is that Powerflex have 2 different sizes listed on there website for the Ibiza.

Thanks all.

Ive just done mine on my 16v, i got powerflex, its the small ones, 56mm if i remember, its quite an easy job, are you gunna take rear beam off? If so the undoing the brake lines are quite a fiddly job.

Yes, Phil. And pretty hard too apparently!

It took me about a day to do mine, i just burnt the old bushes out, n well greased the new ones n hit them in with a rubber mallet, if ur gunna do it by urself, have 2 jolly jacks makes it easier when putting beam back on car.

Yes, Phil. And pretty hard too apparently!

personally i dont think they will be to hard! having had 3 axles off and taken bushes out to get axle powder coated, they look easy enough to put back in. got one in garage ready but like i say, i think they are abit expensive so looking out for other makes.

Im going for Powerflex ones just because my car is lowered and its a daily so I will get my use out of them.
