Control arm bushes
Hi all

Following many frustrated hours of being told my diff is on its way out and that it needs to be replaced / repaired, my Paj did a 5000Km trip through Namibia with no hitches at all.

2 days before the trip (and deciding to take the Paj over a M Class) I took it to a racing mechanic who found that my rear lower control arm bushes are stuffed.
This is where the vibrations / noises come from that have been worrying me (seen here: https://www.pajeroclub.co.za/forum/view ... =55&t=6051)
Under load the torque pushes the lower control arms forward and the bolt basically transmits some vibrations into the "chassis" as the bushes are shot.

Now, I want to replace all that is a bush, rear and front.... Any advice on where to get these apart from Part hunt (second hand) or the stealers?
Lot cheaper than a replacement diff :twisted:

Syd's Suspension solutions in Pretoria? but I am sure there are many such type places closer to you as well. They sell bushes etc and will even make rubber/polyurethane mountings if they cant get ready made ones.
