Trying to get the leaks to a minimum. Not so embarrassing on show days!
I will be fitting the Nolathane these days off. I will post a picture or two of them in situ.

Top picture is the Nolathane bushes in the top arms.
The other shows the new and old bushes in the links between the lower control arms and the anti-roll (Sway? - How does it prevent 'Sway?') bar. The new ones are a hard plastic but just from a different company.

Bushes now all installed - Including the 'Anti-Roll Bar to Body' bushes. The original rubber ones were well past their use by date.
Now all it needs is wheel alignment (max allowable castor and min allowable camber) and a check on rear camber which I can do in my workshop once I know what the initial settings are.

Sorry I added the same picture twice.. If the Admin Guys would remove the duplicate that would be great. I tried and failed.

Nothing like tightening up the feel.

Let us know how it feels when it is all aligned.

Alignment done.  Bushes in and settled down.

Not much difference in the ride or road holding.

What did change and for the better was the straight line stability.  No more following road repair scars or thick paint.  Better in cross winds and more stable under brakes.

I think Nolathane use is worthwhile - the job was to replace worn bushes - this is original +.

So you have improved the overall experience and enjoyment of the drive.

Nothing wrong with that.  ENJOY!

Thanks for checking back in with an update and opinion.
