| All the suspension bushes can be bought from powerflex if you want a better handling car, they are made from silicon rubber and has a very long shelf life unlike the standard rubber, you can also buy from superflex who can make the bushes to what specification you want, a full set costs around £225.00p and are available on ebay. If you are on about top mounts for your front suspension then I don't know where to get hem from, you may have better luck speaking to big Al. | |

|
| Hi Guys
My 33 has been at Benalfa in Westbury for the last week to try and get to the bottom of the rubbing noise I get in right hand corners. Well he phoned me today and it turns out it is something to do with the driveshaft being shot. He also said that virtually all the rubber parts (suspension bushes, engine mounts etc) under the car are shot too, and need to be replaced. The guy at Benalfa said it was probably due to lack of use that the car has had over the years, only just done 40,000mls in 22 yrs, so must of spent some periods inactive which isnt good for rubber apparently. Question:- Are any of these bits still available new ? If not can anyone (Paul, Alex ?) help me with any decent 2nd hand bits ? My wife made me throw out loads of car parts when we were having a tidy up/clearout a while back, which I kept for ages because "they might come in" having persuaded me that I would probably never own any of these old cars ever again. And I know for sure there were engine mounts in there. Im not listening to her any more....not that I do as a rule anyway. |
