Afternoon gents
Sadly my brothers 2001 jimny failed it's mot today on the body mount being corroded and the rear offside suspension bush worn.
This is the body mount....
Sills also have some surface rust which was an advisory along with brake/fuel lines
Has anyone managed to repair the mounts properly?
Also where is the best place to get a suspension bush? Worth doing them all on that arm?

Does this look ok? Suzuki want £28 a bush. Not sure if they're both the same?

Thanks Martin- this is the one that's gone. Is the one above the correct bush?

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

If you pay £28 for a Suzuki bush it will fit.
ECP rarely supply the correct part (but they do have a good returns policy )
