Koni lower suspension bushes on p38

Hi guys,

was having a look underneath the other day and the lower bushes are done on 3 out of 4 of the shocks. The shocks are fine though only need new bushes I reckon. Does anyone know where I can buy bushes as I've had no luck! Everywhere I try only sell the shocks with bushes.

Cheers

Try RPi in Norwich? They trade on ebay as Partsrange as well, I think. They supply loads of Konis so may be able to help- ask for Ian, or for the owner, Chris - they've always been helpful.

Cheers but I tried em the other day and they said I'd need to buy whole shock for! It's like 200 for the four shocks! Just want to get the bushes as they should cost a fraction! My shocks are fine just the bushes I need!

How about a independent workshop dealing in tuning / performance / suspension upgrades? There may be different bushes available which would work with the Konis. Or have you tracked down the Koni importers - that may be the best bet. Not likely to find a wrecked P38 with Konis on each corner easily Or you could just buy mine!!! Brand new Konis each corner!

I'm not sure who to contact. I've sent emails to koni and a few others. I was wondering if other bushes were compatible? Yeh not likely to find any scrapped p38's with konis lyin about! You got a set? What kind? How much?

Just kidding - they're on my P38, which I need to sell sometime soon!!! So I can sell them if you buy the car, too!!

Which ones u got on your p38? Are they yellow? Mine are but don't know the model etc!

The yellow ones I think, but am not at home to check at present - will do next time I have an opportunity (working away ATM). They improve the handling of the Rngie no end - well worth it. What on earth have you been doing with yours though, to wear out all the bushes?? I was led to believe they'd last for years with normal use!!

Ha ha jus normal use to be honest! Offroad now n again but mostly motorway use! Who knows what's happened to them! Ha ha

hi mate,are you sure the shocks are ok,if the bushes are knackered i think the shocks will be suspect.

Yeh I'd say so! They're doing what they should but the bushes are loose and won't go any tighter!

if i was you bud i would change the shocks,you dont want crap suspension/handling probs with such a big car do you.as we all know,rangy's aint cheap to run.

would it be possible to use other lower suspension bushes on my koni's. Having a real problem finding anyone who just sells the bushes without having to buy the whole shock.
