    I am looking to change the bushes on my car in the near future.
    As its my daily driver I want to get it all done on a Saturday. :?

    My plan is as follows:

    Obtain some second hand front wishbones.
    Remove the old bushes
    Rub down
    Paint with some heavy duty external paint, maybe caliper paint (Ideas welcome)
    Grease up and fit the new bushes (OE ones or Polybush ones??? Suggestions please.)
    Take the old wishbones off and fit the new ones
    Fit new drop links and Anti lift kit at the same time
    Change the Steering rack bushes at the same time
    Fit Anti roll bar bushes.

    Is there anything else worth doing when I'm in there?
    Is it worth replacing the anti roll bar at the same time? (I plan to fit a whiteline adjustable one on the rear but leave the front standard. Thinking of picking up a second had one and giving it a rub down and paint)


    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. :D

    They use a Hunter alignment machine :? (Supposedly the only one in Central Scotland) , Not sure if any place down here has it. Reportedly one of the best Scooby setups and makes a big difference to the handling, Although, I suppose anyone would notice a big difference if all your allignments and settings were setup properly. :)
