Hi I replaced my front control arm bush's with mackay brand about 6 months ago, I also got the disks machined but that only lasted 1000k's. anyway seeing that I have very very bad brake shudder at 80-100 when slowing id say these bush's would be gettung a flogging and possibly worn to the sh*t now

im replaceing the rotors but would also like to replace the bush's

im looking at the super pro ones or the whiteline ones.

pressing them in aint a problme for me as ive dont it before (obiviosly) but I want to know which is better? or recomended. The superpro one seems to have the bolt hole in the middle of the larg bush and the whitline kit has it factory type were its offset.

I ended up geting the superpro ones as I got em for $139 for the lot! some guy on ebay selling them, guess he sold the car?

anyway im still trying to work out if I have to press the old bush out or have to use the original shell?

also I dont have brembos but do have the premium factory black callipers...When I replaced the bush's not long ago I got 2 front and 2 rear bushs (for front control arm) for $60 all up direct from mackay rubber. only the front right bush was flogged out. but I did all of em as I got then dirt cheap!

now that I have gotten a little cash I want to firm up the front end a bit along with SKF wheel hubs (its got cheaish ebay ones on there...previous owner), new rotors, steering rack, as everything else is brand spanking new!!

Press the old one out, throw away casing and all.

Use hands and grease to push grooved centre bush in no casing required for front bush.
