Cheers Chaps - much, much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

Your very welcome sir, i now know i futre not to offer free assistance when a Tiger and polybushes fall into the same sentance!

Had some giggles today though!, Big thanks to Chris for the dry spot and alternative thinking when it comes to re-fitting a lower wishbone!

and alternative thinking when it comes to re-fitting a lower wishbone!

Care to elaborate? Mine are going on in the morning. Currently trying to pop a bush in with a vice. It's bloody tight!

[James]

good luck on your own!!!!! do yourself a favour make sure the metal sleeve that runs through the bush actually fits the intended location first, 3 out of 4 fitted didnt check the last 1 and by eck it was too big! Doh!

Then get 3 people and beat the livivng .... out of it till it goes in

I currently have bits in the freezer in an effort to contract them a bit! What a ba$tard of a job!

[Tony B]

tis a nightmare job, I used the freezer trick, still not sure if it helped. Had to use a big old carpenters vice to get them to go in evenly - hard work

I have some silicon rubber grease that i use for putting on my gimp outfit.
Good for putting rubber bushes in to.

Bloody metalastic bushes! I've only got one bush each side at the front cos everything else is rose-jointed. So I thought I'd use metalastics to give me a bit of compliance. Should have stuck with poly bushes! I've only got to move them another 5mm and they are in - and they won't bloody budge!!!

[James]

its always the last 5mm that doesnt quiet fit

Lot's of copper slip mate, maybe a pri-bar on the vice for extra leverage?
