Title: S3 console bushes - get whole unit or just the bushes to press in?
Post by: Stevepd on May 26, 2015, 07:56:07 pm

Just the S3 bushes or SuperPro anti-lift kit. I preferred to get the SuperPro ALK with the brackets. Powerflex now sells the same but cheaper.

Personally I found it easier to just buy the entire S3 console bushes, which makes it a DIY job.   Bushes on their is much cheaper, but obviously you need to get the old ones pressed out and new ones pressed in, which is extra cost.  And they need to be pressed in at the right angle too.

You can't buy just the S3 bush. Has to be the console.

I still prefer the SuperPro bushes, especially with anti-lift (it does make a good difference). :smiley:
