Just back from Service and needs.....
Hi all,
Just back from the garage after getting car serviced and undersealed.
I expected a few reports of things being wrong with her....here's the list:
1) Both front lower suspension arm rear bushes split at bonding
2) Both front suspension anti-roll bar links worn
3) Slight oil leak from timing chain cover
The thing is, they say that Honda dont sell the suspension bushes separately and that I'd need to get 2 x suspension arm kits at

No.1 doesnt make any sense, either front lower bushes or rear lower bushes or is me being a retard 
there are different types of bushes.
Your into the realms of sezied bushes.
A combo off cutting out, pressing/burning the existing bushes from your arms is needed.
Parts for the geo would be around

I think the OP means the front lower rears - the dreaded horizontal ones you cant buy easily!
They do look spilt though - they are meant to be like that so best to double check they aren't making a mistake!
The links easy enough, and split bushes or links are an MOT fail.
It will tell you if its advisory or not, which means you dont HAVE to do it.
The timing chain leak is your biggest hassle though, its a long job to re-gasket that.

Not telling you to suck eggs dude, but make sure they go in the right way around - look at the ones you extract 
Actually, as an upgrade, do the Mugens still have the holes to allow movement in one horizontal plane more than the other (like stock) ?

Drac, have you got a part no. for the bushes from KM?
You may want to wait a week though, by then my mechanic will have fitted mine so I can give feedback on whether they fitted ok, change to steering afterwards etc..
