Re: Capri suspension

ZA, you and Paul convinced me to stay with rubber. I have however never bought from an overseas supplier. My younger brother also stays in the UK. Should I have him buy and ship to me? Otherwise, may I ask you to assist. I will transfer the money into your account (+ shipping!) I will let you know w...

Re: Capri suspension

Ters, my expirience with poly bushes is they definately stiffen up the ride and handling but also increase vibration and noise. Paulus, I would not mind the noise or vibration.

Re: Capri suspension

I am not doubting what you are concerned about, it is just that p...

Capri suspension

Some advice please; I noticed my Capri being a bit "loose" on the nose. :? While I was busy changing the front shocks, I noticed that I can move the whole assembly forwards and backwards. Seems like the control arm bushes are the culprits, I can see that is where the most play occurs. I have searche...
