Shyam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Aup fellas, Hope you all had a splendid weekend. My car is starting to make creaking noises when turning and I've noticed my steering wheel judders alot. Being a 150k mile car, wear and tear parts need replacing. I have now replaced the shot suspension and my attention has turned to the bushes. Was just wondering if anyone had any experience with replacing their bushes? Was it OEM or Polymer (powerflex) or both and how did they perform? How hard were they to replace? I know these can be a little tricky to get in. Are there any tips when replacing them. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shyam Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Also thought I'd share with you some recent pics of the car. Id say it's a little bit more presentable now.Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryncewind Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The polys will be 2 piece ones so you just push them in from either side of the mount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shyam Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Oh right, that's encouraging then. Nice one mate. Am I right in thinking that this is the complete bush set for a Glanza? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-STARLET-GLANZA-V-1-3-TURBO-4EFTE-FULL-POLY-BUSH-KIT-POWERFLEX-SUPERPRO-/141843084036?epid=1488950686&hash=item210681b304:g:pJEAAOSwgmJXyWWl Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If you want to do the engine mounts i suggest some tiger seal instead of polybush.Polybush is too harsh for the roads in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'd say OEM bushes, remember that aftermarket items require more service maintenance and require to be greased up from time to time.I also found SuperPro grease was like water, powerflex grease is much better.

SKINY Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 My Glanzlet was fully polybushed front to back engine included, when it was sat ticking over the noise was like a Skeleton wanking in a bikkie tin. Bit jerky taking off in 1st but it had an exedy racing clutch too that didn't help. Once your on the move it was a good tight ride.The GT is sat now with factory bushes front to back apart from the one poly mount on the engine, it was forced upon it when the factory mount broke. I've the other 2 box polys here and will be fitting them too aswell as the rest of the car.Suspension setup in the GT is a good bit softer than the Glanzlet and that helps comfort too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You put it on when installing but if they start making noise you will need to regrease them. More common on suspension bushing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shyam Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Just replacing them as we speak guys... How do I remove the bushes from the arms? Shall I just hack the fuckr off? Or are they split like polymer ones? Edited August 4, 2017 by Shyam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shyam Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Off topic, but where did you get that lip? Yup, SKINY is right, it's a Laguna Spliiter...tidy fit aswel Ended up hacking, drilling and blow torching the old bushes off over the weekend. Bit of a messy task but damn what a difference it makes to the handing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Thanks for the input AdamB. When you say Grease, are you talking about the lubrication on the polymer itself or is it something you put on the bushes when installing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
