    Try contacting Simon (mingblus3) for the bushes. Have a look at this thread although not sure if he ever went through with them - https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=37683

    IIRC you may still be able to get the complete arms from Renault, not cheap, and I don't believe Renault ever sold the bushes on their own for the GT Turbo. Also try contacting Mike at GT Turbo Spares he may be help you out with bushes/arms or a better condition rear beam.

    Someone replaced his with a ball or roller bearing inserted somewhere there . Looked like an improvement. More noise transfer maybe though if no rubber.

    There was a thread on here.

    A few guys have already used these bud after payday (just been on hols) a garage near me will press them out then new in but iv already got my beam off so a lot easier I can't see how it would be done on the car unless burnt out then pressed (hammered) back in and I'd say all need doing mine work but very cracked. Should stiffen her arse up at treat..

    I believe its definitely a garage job. If I recall when Tony (Fishhead) did mine he had to take it to a lorry garage and use their big press. Like Michael I am keen to see how you get on as a couple of spares for the future would be good.

    No idea the cars still in a million pieces . However I did notice when driving at motorway speeds if you hit a bump the back would twitch a bit. I am hoping the new bushes will solve that.

    Re: Rear axle bushes

    Ones Woody has shown link to are ones ive used on my refurbished beam.

    Would say replacing is a must as on mine the bush had split due to rust getting between the metal collar and rubber.
