rear suspension bushes help

Rear suspension bushes, help!

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this board and I need some help finding some Ford Cortina mk3, possibly mk4/5 suspension bushes.

They are for the rear upper trailing arm, front bush. I'm told it is a "solid" version of a void bush. Not sure if the original part number is 1481424 or 1505928. I was given another number EM1492. This last number used to be stocked at SW propshafts, but apparently no longer! I must say they are for a special built Fogey Sprite, which uses these bushes on the rear suspension. I really need 6 and wondered if anybody had some or knew where I could buy some; I've exhausted the internet!

I understand Superflex do polybush versions, number SF 148 0219KSS and if anyone can confirm that too please.

Many, many thanks in advance.

Hi,

      Yes Superflex do the bushes you are looking for. I have them on my MK5 Cortina. Great quality but not cheap. Fit and forget.

Thanks. I’m thinking that will be the only way to go! Hopefully somebody else will reply and I will have the choice because my car is very light and I’m not too sure if the super flex bushes will be too hard in comparison to the rubber ones.

I'll check but doubt I'll have six ,that bush is same for all years.

If not I'd recommend superflex as said not cheap but never had a prob with their stuff irrespective of what they were for. Only others I'd use are power flex.

Flo-flex or whatever their called this week are garbage.

Are these the ones you need?  Link

 

With a light car personally I'd think twice about going Polybush especially the upper rear arms - if they are fitted as per the standard Cortina where they move through an odd arc

Certainly looks like them. Thanks I will contact the seller for more accurate measurements because I don’t recognise the part number he states.

My car is a lightweight frog eye sprite and the bushes are on rear trailing arms and move through a “normal” arc as far as I can tell. At least if I replace like with like it should feel the same rather than go with polybush and find it has a detrimental effect. Although it might improve matters!!

Hmm, got a choice to make here….

Many thanks for checking. I’ve managed to locate 6 NOS so I’m sorted hopefully.

And many thanks to everyone else who has helped
