Rear Axle Bushes

[Bigjohn84]

Just want to ask if you can change these easily without the tool, or if anyone has done this to there car and what they done and if they had any problems? Thanks

Easy if you fit poly bushes, need tool if fitting stock.

Unbolt axle at the pivot bolts and shocks, disconnect brake pipes. Drop axle off. Cut old bushes through open voids then cut the sleeve out with a hacksaw. Lube up the poly bush and hit it home with a rubber mallet or Metal hammer and a lump of wood. Bolt it all back together and bleed brakes.

It's all the same if you are fitting standard bushes apart from pulling new bushes in with the tool.

There's about 3 different types for the rear axle bushes some thick some slim, the ones above are they the correct ones for my car, 1.8 AUQ Cupra
