South African 131 rear suspension bushes

[Irish Mike]

Greetings all, Has anybody experienced any difficulties with installation syperflex bushes into a South African 131? I have just bought a full set of bushes and have an issue with the upper rear link bushes. The bushes supplied were way too big. I have had a look at their on-line catalogue and it would "appear" that the Fiat 124 upper link bushes are closer to the mark. Has anybody had this issue before and if so how did you get around it?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Whilst I have no experience of bushes on SA 131s I recently purchased SuperFlex trailing arm bushes for my 1978 Series 1 which were actually listed for the 124. It would seem to me that neither SuperFlex nor their manufacturer really knows which car they fit

I also had to fit SuperFlex Ford Escort mk 1 bushes (albeit slightly 'modified' with a Stanley blade! ) to the anti-roll bar on my 131 Abarth, so in my experience it has always been better to do a little research around the SuperFlex 'range' before taking the word of their catalogue.
