Panhard rod bushed

Radius arm bushes can be bought in the Big Jimny shop or from the Jimny Bits website.

To get them out I drilled the rubber out and tapped the metal outer ring out with a screwdriver and hammer.

Then the new one needs a press to be pushed in with, either a hydraulic or a fly press.

Poly bush replacements don't need a press and can be fitted with a length of studding and wood with holes in. They feel better on the road but transfer more shock to the chassis mounts, which when rusty can break off when in very bad shape.

Poly bushes do flex like rubber ones though, despite some suggesting they don't. They last longer too.
