Hi guys,

ok, as the title says, i heard a pop sort of sound and the steering felt abit sloppy.
So i took this pick, looks like i need new bush's.

What do you guys recommend me to do, what do i need to replace/fix ?

Thanks

Craig

Replace the swaybar link bushes (pretty cheap) and find the source of the oil that's ruined the current ones!

Thanks brayden,

Its better than what i was thinking, is it a hard thing to replace ?

Where would you recommend to get them from ?

Or just get them from a repco/autobarn place.

Cheers

Bushes are easy to replace, you only need to jack up the front and remove the swaybar. Best to replace the front D bushes while you're at it. Bushes can be bought from any Suzuki specialist or through PolyTuff if you'd prefer urethane to rubber.
