Fitted the Fensport supplied rear bushes today. Took about 4 hours to do - though having access to a fully equipped workshop certainly helped. And thanks to the fact that they don't use salt on the roads here, no siezed bolts etc (air tools made short work anyway). >>
Even swapped the rearmost control arm inner bush too. Had one measured up by the friendly local suspension shop. Also did the front ARB bushes and ARB drop links all round. Currently awaiting arrival of a Whiteline rear ARB at the moment.
Need to get an alignment done, but even on a short drive, the car felt much more 'solid' at the rear. At the front, ARB bushes and drop links have also made a difference.

Rear most inner control arm bush.




Aftermarket universal drop links are some 50% cheaper than Toyota OEM >>

What did it do? I would imagine replacing bushings just gets rid of squeeks, right? If you don't mind me asking, how much were the parts? I've got the same kind of shop access, and I'm thinking about doing mine if it'll fix all the squeeks.

yea how much were they and where can you get them?

thanx in advance

how is the ride quality? do you feel more virbration in the steering wheel?

You can get them from fensport

Does fensport sell stuff for non GT4 celica?

Tightens up the rear end. OE bushes become hard and brittle with age so they are unable to do they job they were intended for. As a result, suspension can become a bit sluggish due to excess movement in the mounting points.

Ride quality is improved as is handling. No vibration through steering wheel as bushes are at the rear >>
