Default Bushing Kits

Does anyone have a bushings kit that you were pleased with? I remember seeing someone who had posted a list of bushings to order.

was just thinking the exact same thing today.
took my cat to get a wheel alignment and discovered they could not align it properly due to excess play in the front wheels.
especially the drivers side.

jacked it up when i got home, checked it out and it seems the upper control arm bushings are shot, and the tie rods are on the way

I just did mine two months ago. You will find a convenient list with parts numbers from the British Parts website about the front suspension rebuild kit. Their parts are probably less durable but their website info is easier to read in my opinion. Powerflex is another source where you can get a full set of bushings and they will show you their locations in a convenient diagram. Then you might also consult various sites like Berkshire Jaguar and SNG Barratts for the engine mounts, vee mount, etc. On bushes for the coil springs, I would recommend going for the upgrade kit supplied by Simply Performance. Don't trust the factory originals as they might have been sitting on the shelves for years and might crush in no time. Some other parts might not be available new, for example, the front suspension spring pans, so you might want to source some good used ones from AutoReserve.

I am in the United States, so a few of those companies won't ship to the US. Actually, none of them except Powerflex and they don't have them all. "Unfortunately, we are unable to send to the US or Canada Due to Insurance Purposes." So, does anyone else have a good place to get V-Mounts for under $150 per and engine mounts?
I guess it would be great if someone had a list of suspension upgrade kits, and I could get all of them separately.

When I need bits from the US who don’t ship to UK, I use
https://www.ship7.com

Takes longer but does work.

All the ones above do not ship to the US. The Vee Mount is 35 in the UK and 150 in the US

thats where a shipping onforwarder can be great.
I have not used one for many years but probably should set up an account with one.
Used to use them when buying American Football equipment from the US needing it shipped to Australia.

they give you an address to use (in your case you would be looking for one who provides a UK address) you then get the stuff sent there and they send it on to you.
another really cool thing is combined shipping. you can get stuff from multiple places sent to them and they an wait until more packages arrive so they can send on to you in one shipment.
