[Rocketron]

Anyone replace d these and how easy are they to do? Noticed a little bit of play when I had my car jacked up earlier

Powerflex do a rear beam bush if you are looking for an upgrade.

They are a bit of a pig to fit though especially if you need to remove the complete beam to press them in. I have heard of people fitting them without removing the whole lot though.

I was on your site just a moment ago looking at them.

Are the original ones bonded in? Wondering if you could just partially drop the beam so no need to unbolt struts and disconnect brake pipes etc...can anyone chime in?

Not so much bonded in but tight enough to require a press.

Damn....think I'll be passing it on for someone else to do. What about the front wishbone and arb bushes, how DIY are they to replace?

For these you need to remove the lower arm completely from the car. Again We had to use a press to remove the old ones and press in the new ones.
