Posted 27/05/09 04:54 AM Share Posted 27/05/09 04:54 AM The bolt should definitly be replaced - mine failed before the bush did.Superpro make a replacement bush but there is a reason why the stock one is soo soft... the driveline clunk is amplified with a decent bush in there.Mines a manual and I treat it hard so I put up with the clunk.

I dont understand why the nothalene bush kit and that are way more expansive, ive been told this is the best bush to replace with and its the cheapest, the best quote I could get on another bush was $150, unless I could have replaced with a ford on for $67. hope this helps..
