<br />I Have a 2014 plate v6-s , and I'm thinking of having a suspension bush upgrade. The car does not feel as planted as it could do and the steering has allways felt too light in my opinion..<br /><br /><br />Ive had a v8 on loan for a couple of weeks and that felt solid and much more positive . Obviosuly it had the EPAS steering which helped.<br /><br />Ive been quoted by Viezu about £600 supplied and fitted for a suspension bush upgrade , which they quote "suspension bush upgrade, this make the suspension and steering feel more positive, it does not make the ride harder, just more precise."<br /><br />They replace 12 bushes in total.<br /><br />Has anyone had anything like this done ? if so did you notice any difference?<br /><br />Best regards<br />Steve<br /><br />

<blockquote>Hi Steve , before you do the upgrade get a proper Geo setup done on it , Bush tyres did ours and it transformed the way it felt !! </blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>Without sounding pedantic, wouldn't you have the setup, done AFTER the bushes had been fitted, as the suspension arms along with a few other items would have to be removed to have the old bushes pressed out and the new ones pushed in?</div><div><br></div><div>I had my Geo done gratis during its' first service. It was way out (toe'ing in on the fronts). Didn't make any noticeable difference to the feel, but at least it will save a few quid on juice and tyres!</div><div><br></div><div>I put two and two together and realised that there was a recall on 16MY F's for the trie-rod nut to be torqued, so it more than likely never got checked by the dealer post work...not that you would expect it would need it!</div><div><br></div><div>Following this thread with interest BTW Steveo</div>
