Rear subframe bush tool - to buy or not to buy
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2015 2:13 pm
Just wondering if anyone has experience with buying/selling rear subframe bush tools? My bushes have been past their best for a while and I'd like to get rid of the annoying 'clunk' when pulling on/off the drive every day. The job itself doesn't look too bad with the bush tool however I'm not sure whether to buy one or not.
You can get a new tool for £80 from Ebay now (used to be a lot more). Makes it look more appealing than renting as if I have something come up, find I have something missing etc I can put the job off until another weekend. Given that renting is £40 for a week, plus return postage which will be another £10+ then also the £200 deposit, it doesn't seem like renting is worth it.
Question is are the tools easy to sell on? I know it's 'only' £80 but that's a lot for a tool I will never use again. Alternatively anyone in Kent have a tool I can borrow? :-[
