Ok there Pajero peoples !!

I have just given the Evo a look over or under in this case, but have noticed my back lower arms on both sides.
connecting the wheels to the middle section of the evo, are both badly worn, bushes are non existent.
and the passensger side wheel hub to anti rollbar is knacked as well.

Has any one changed these before ?
Are they a complete unit only ?
Can you get bushes only ?

where from all the above ?

As always, any help would be great.

Thanks
Ryan

I am doing all the bushes on mine. If those are gone on yours you will most likely find that the rest of them are poked too.
I have had new poly bushes cast in the old suspension arms. The price just made it worth the experiment. otherwise you need to replace the arms. We still need to put the car back together so sometime next week i will know if it was successful. There are rollerbearings in two of the bushes which we had checked by an engineer, they are fine so are being reused.
I really would look into having new bushes cast, particularly for the rear dif as otherwise you need to get a new casing and rebuild the dif into it which is a bit of a job for a small piece of rubber.

How are yours holding up? How easy/hard was the job?

80000KM later and they are still fine. I had a workshop pull the suspension off so it wasn't a difficult job for me haha

Were they OEM bushes or aftermarket?
