    tried searching but cant find a definitive answer anywhere!

    will the Power/flowflex polybushes fit in a 1.1's wishbones? (front mount)

    g/f's 1.1 is squeaking like its got a mouse trapped in it..

    it looks slightly difference from what I can see. getting them out is a ball ache unless you have a big press or can burn them out, I managed to do one with some studding but the second put up a fight. For all that effort on a standard 1.1 i'd just replace the wishbone, likely its got a tired ball joint anyway

    the wishbones only a couple of months old so the ball joint is fine..

    and I changed them on my VTR without too much bother..

    just need to know if they will fit and work safely! is all..

    the rallydesign ones are reasonably cheap..

    Fair play then, once they are out its an easy swap its just getting them out. if its only a couple of months old its going to be unlikely the bush has failed though. Aside from the crush tube perhaps being a bit big (, if they are too big I'm sure they could be pared down to fit the hole.
    How much are the rally design ones? think I paid 20 quid for MLR ones although they werent a great fit

    7 or 8 quid each..

    think its just a dodgy bush.. its squeaked a bit when i fitted it new.. then went away with a squirt of WD40.. been fine for a few months and now its back and means business!

    sorry to revive an old thread but did the polybush fit the 1.1 wishbone?
