Polybushing Mk4 'tina - Ford Forums

Hi All,

Desperatley trying to fit a Superflex polybush in the lower rear trailing arm of a MK4 Cortina.

Its the larger rear bush.
The bush is huuuuge! I've tried a vice and a heath-robinson bush contraption to squeeze it in, but to no avail.

We took about 2 hours getting the smaller front one in, but the rear is another story!

Any advice or tips gratefully recieved?

Cheers, Jim

It is quite difficult. There is a proper tool to do it.

Maybe if you got a socket or steel tube the same diameter as the outer steel part of the bush and used that to squeeze it in with the vice.

Thanks Lance,
Do you know what the tool is called?

When I redid my TE 3 yr ago, I just pressed the whole thing out and installed the new bush ( Nolathane ) which already comes in the outer sleeve. These bushes you have, Do they not come with the outer metal sleeve?
