Chambers Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've just received my full poly bush set but realized it doesnt include rear mounting bushes (117578), this isnt a problem as I know I cant get some. I am a bit curious however, the original rubbers ones, do they have a metal outer tube, I've removed just about all of the old one but haven't noticed an outer tube. Hopefully someone can help me and let me knowFYI, here is the Rimmer Bros diagramhttp://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID005729 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTeesside Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Polybushes generally don't have the outer reinforcement tube, it's the same with the older rear arm bushes (the large ones) where the rubber ones have the metal outer sleeve and the polybush replacements don't.

Chambers Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 sorry I meant on the existing rubber ones I am removing there is an outer sleeve for me to remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTeesside Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There should be, yes. They should come out with the bush, unless it's been stubborn and you've had to drill/burn it out. They can be hard to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah the bush was more than stubborn, the insert came out virtually welded to the bolt. Where as Ive spent time getting all of the bush out I now know I can just remove the outer which should hopefully be easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
