Post #1
Bought a Rallye yesterday and I love it. It just has a odd suspension related issue. On the way home the car seemed to be getting blown by the wind. but I realised it was pulling quite suddenly to the left under acceleration then drifts back right when I come off the gas. i also noticed that on the mot it got an advisory for offside suspension arm slight play in pin/bush.Any ideas what it is and what I need to do to fix it. |

Check the 'P'Bushes mate they may be shot! I've had this issue made the car feel like the suspension was made of jelly!  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

As above, probably the 'P' shaped bushes on the wishbones.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me! Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces. |

Easiest way to do it is just to buy a pair of new wishbones and still them, it's faster than replacing the bushes and doesn't cost much more________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Would the roller bearing bushes be overkill for a car with a otherwise standard suspension set up?Would powerflex front bushes and oem rear bushes be better suited to the car? |

Motaquip are a parts place owned by PSAWouldn't bother with Powerflex ones - standard are good enough for most people. Lemforder are a decent make too. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
