front subframe bushes

[endo-t5]

Is there any up-rated front subframe bushes or just replace with standard or aftermarket ones or have some solid ones made.
Also how long before rear axle bushes need changing
I'm thinking of taking the 850 apart and clean and paint plus it's getting on a bit and did it with my old 4be sierra and transformed it.

Have a look here, but, I believe they don't answer emails very quickly

I think Powerflex do subframe bushes, don't know what they're like. T5Monkey just had his whole car polybushed, he seems pretty keen but then it's a different car to yours so hard to say.

Lol, P2 I can vaguely find my way around... I know P2's are considerably different, but could the bushes not be modified? (he says, desperately trying to redeem himself)

No idea, as I've never looked at a P2 that closely

Tim Williams has a fix for subframe bushes - my fronts have been filled with a resin. I couldn't believe how much slop there was before but now they don't move. I couldn't tell you how much difference it has made to the way the car drives as we did it at the same time as new brakes and Gripper diff. There was some increase in NVH but again difficult to say how mush was attributed to the subframe bushes as we resined the OS engine mount at the same time and fitted a SMF. Overall the car is much sharper and easier to place if I'm really on it. Not worth it if just pootling.
