Ahmed, I'm not really sure what your problem could be, since there are a number of possible noise sources.
However, a worn bush is a very possible cause, although they usually wear out on the near-side first. Have a look in this thread for ideas: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38047 You can get stiffer bushes for the car, and they will work well. I'm just not sure where you would go locally to buy a set. They are always advertised in the likes of Practical Performance Car or Auto Express, so you should find a local supplier easily enough. Joe

I still have polyurethane bushings for sale if you're still interested. I'm just not sure how much it would cost for shipping.

I would also be interested in a set David. Shipping to Ireland will probably cost around the same as shipping to England.
Let me know the cost incl shipping, I'll take a set. Joe

Thanks for the shipping quote. You did not mention what the cost of the bushings will be. Can you give some information about them? How many in a set? Where do they get fitted? How hard are they to install? I would be interested, let me know. Joe

Is your shipping within Europe as expensive as my shipping to you? If not you should grab a few sets for the European SVXers.
