Panhard bushes renewal...
Usin' poly bushes.
Quite an easy job to do really.
( If ye have the OEM bushes then ye'll need to burn the rubber out and then haksaw the metal sleeve to remove it, or use a big press.)
In my case the panhard rod I was usin' had been fitted with the Polybush kit so wasn't too bad to do.
Here's how ah did it...
undid one side usin' a 24mm socket and a 24mm spanner....
then removed the bolt...
done the same on the other side...
and then removed it.
Just a piccy of the old one out and the donor one ready to go in..
Ah removed the old bushes from the donor by knockin' the metal sleeve out with a suitable drift (a big bolt)...
and then chapped a screwdriver between the bush and rod to prise it out...
The new poly bushes come in two halves with a metal sleeve and makes fittin' a whole lot easier than Rubber bushes. When ah went to fit the new bushes ah smeared a bit of grease in the hole and the bushes went in a treat. Also put a little bit of grease on the metal sleeve and pushed it in.
(look at me other bushes posts to see piccies of what ah mean)
When it came to refitting, ah put the nearside in first using new bolts etc...
then did the off side...
Tightened the bolts up
and that's it, job done
just a couple of piccies..
This was the donor rod before
and then after a bit of cleanin' and sanding
