Followed this apart from the drilling- I just used the bush pulley to press it out and came out using a breaker bar and didn’t need to use a hack saw. No need to align if you get polybushes either, more expensive but worth it as they’ll last longer than the car 💪🏼

Good video thanks Marty. My son-in-law and I did my daughter’s car this evening. A wee tip though, if you have a hole saw big enough, you can cut out the centre piece of the bushes by cutting from both sides. It’s a lot quicker than drilling them out 👍

Good video, but to save time what I do is I use a big drill bit and drill one hole right through the rubber against the outer plastic piece. By doing this the drill is acting as a cutting blade and is creating a gap on the plastic piece. Then just give it one whack with a hammer and it’ll fall out because the plastic outer piece has the gap created by the drill to close up on itself.

Honestly i have know idea what could make a scrapping noise in relation to the suspension, scrapping noises are usually caused by metal rubbing metal, so you would have to have a badly worn bush for the metal to touch, have you checked that these bushed haven't worn that bad that the axel is rubbing the mount plate, if you have checked everything you have i would definitely unbolt the axel and lower it down so you can see how much play is in these bushes. Its only a few bolts and only takes a few minuets, hope this helps

@mathewnewton3499

7 ай бұрын

A late reply, but for others it is advisable to replace the through-bolt because it is a stretch bolt (tightened to 80Nm + 120°) and hence like all stretch bolts should always be replaced as it permanently deforms on tightening. Of course, many (most?) don't so a choice for you to make. Others with OCD like myself might also want to do just do the bolts up finger tight and only torque them down once the weight is back on the wheels (or the workshop manual suggests sitting the trailing arms on axle stands for easier access). This puts the bush in an unstressed (not twisted) position whilst at rest. None of this detracts from the video though - a really great walkthrough.

If you want to be I just jacked it in the centre but if you wanted to be spot on you could Lower the axel beam back onto your axel stands on either side near the hubs and that would put the Bush in the correct position, I wouldn't worry about weight

Once done and putting back together,, is it not worth putting the bolt in from the other side, so next time won't need to drop the bracket down

Thank you for your feedback, and yes that would make the second time a lot easier.

Him how do you know the position of the bush? I mean where you have marked it with white.

There is a step in the side of the Bush, so i marked that point on the Bush then across the axel, then marked the same point on the new Bush, hope this helps

Hi I have a fiesta MK7 how do I identify if these bushes are gone. All the rear makes a noise squeaks and creaks?

Hello and welcome to the channel, if you lie next to the vehicle with you head in line with the bushes (just in front of the rear wheel) and get someone to bounce the rear of the car ie open the boot and push down on the rear end, you should see the bushes flex as they twist, if the rubber turns on the centre aluminium part then you rubber is worn out an come unattached and the rubbing between the rubber and aluminium Centre part is what is causing the squeak. Hope this helps

Ok if these bushes are ok what could the noise etc be from the rear. I have new springs and new bushes on the top of the springs. It has recently passed a mot ?

I believe it is the same setup but unsure if the bushes are the same. They could be more difficult to get out and new ones in the axel beam, i have not done them on the mk6 so not sure sorry.

easiest way to do this is to hit a chisel through the casing and then smack it in the middle with a hammer and it flies out takes 2 mins instead of doing this
