Default Watt Links Bushes - changing?

Hi Folks,

Anyone done this recently ? Any tips tricks/howtos? Want to change over to SuperPro bushes and looking at the difficultly level of doing this myself.

Will a wheel alignment be required ?

I just did the watts link bushed on me XE. Piece of cake took like 30mins all up. Just used a bearing press to push them out and push them in.

Doubt a wheel alignment is required.

After

I've just done them on my AU & replaced with SuperPro, was alot easier then I thought, you just need a press or could be done with a Vice.

Complete new links would take 5 minutes to change over!

Thanks for the feedback folks!


Did the superpro's make much of a difference gutless ? In terms of handing ?

I haven't noticed, but I haven't really thrown it into many corners hard since I put them on. I reckon they make the ride a bit harsher tho.
