Some update, manifold came back already and is already installed
When you buy a new manifold or when welding an old one, make sure you check for welding splatters which may come loose and wreak havoc on your turbine wheel. Saw this and grinded it off with a porting tool.
Also managed to replace my front LH side lower arm bush yesterday. Relatively easy to DIY, just 4 bolts literally. The front circular bush just hammer out and the rear square bush have to hold the bush with a bench vice and pry the arm out.
Old forward bush was really worn out and had
freeplay in it, rubber also hardened and cracked already. These bush most probably was since the car came out from the factory in 2001.
With the new bush installed.
Installed the lower arm bush myself in around 1-2 hours time, will continue with the RH side later today. Do myself because mau save labour abit
. The forward bush was hard to get aligned because the rear bush hole is offset making the front bush offset slightly with the hole, have to use some brute force to get the bolt through.
Note to those interested in using PU bush, PU bushes
NEEDS grease to work, please apply the grease that comes together with your bushing kit or search for Silicone Grease. If your PU bushing kit does not comes with or the seller claims it does not need grease, just walk away....
