405 Suspension Bushes

Post by fodtommo »

I have a 95 405 GLX.

It has started getting the ususal 200k knock from the front suspension - there was an advisary on the mot in june for a worn fron bush on the front nearside wishbone.

My question is this:

I have had 405's in the past and have replaced the wishbone. Whilst I know they are not dear the mechanic who did the MOT seemed to think you can just re-bush them. The bushes are dirt cheap just a few pounds - does anyone have experience of doing this or should I just get a new wishbone.?

Thanks all!

yes they can be re/bushed, but i can also be very hard getting the front wishbone rear bush back on to its spigot and in its corect plain,

if you dont have access to a press then you might be better off replaceing the hole arm
