STI v2 - Bush replacements?
 
I have a STI v2 import (1995) that's done 65K. I've replaced the ARB bushes and drop links on the rear and would like to know what else I can replace as the rear of the car does not run as smooth as it used to! (I've replaced both the rear top mounts and struts on the rear suspension also).

The car sounds like it has a hollow rumbling coming from the rear :paranoid: so I'm thinking one of the bushes could be worn.

Looking on the web there seems to be quite a number of bushes for different components. For example..

Tie bar bush
Tie bar to hub bush
Front Outrigger to chassis bush (left/right)
Roll bar link bushes (x4)
Diff mount (x2)
Tie Bar bushes (x6)

Can you advise what I shoud look at checking/buying first and how easy they would be to fit?

Many thanks,
Iceman_II

Does the noise increase & decrease with speed?

Could be a wheel bearing.

The noise is pretty constant regardless of what speed I'm doing. It does feel like something is loose and knocking against a sub-frame somewhere. I've taken all the things out of the boot just to rule out that also.
