rear beam bushes removed trhe massive toe change on loading the stock void bushes allow. you will be shocked how soft they are
evil to fit, but worth it. prices in badger section if interested

Not if you put them in the freezer first and spray them with silicone spray when fitting:-D

i do plan on doing the rear beam bushes eventually... in better weather, and when i'm a bit richer lol.

However i had a full alignment check done on the car, and found there was too much front camber on both sides, and was actually a fair bit of toe out :confused: (thanks kiwk-fit... where it was tracked up a month or 2 ago),
this was all corrected, and put near on perfect with original figures, but leaving a small amount of toe in (i'm told this helps on a car like mine)

However, one of the rear wheels camber was out, (the other was pefect), and there was alot of toe in on the rear (all be it equal on both sides), more than double the standard figure!

So i got some eibach rear alignment shims, these correct camber and toe, and can be adjusted to allow any corrected needed, so i set them to the requred figures to get the alignment back to original figures... only cost £12 per shim too :)

Fitted them yesterday, along with discs and pads all round, and the rear end already feels so much more stable! :funk:
