Hi guys, does anyone know if these tie-rod bushes will fit the Marina as they are a darn site cheaper than Polybush, thanks.

From memory they are too small. Are you looking at the superflex site for prices?

Will they be any good to replace the rear shocker bushes?

Interesting question adz. I would think they would be too small too. Try TR7 rear shocker bushes for the rear end. These have been used in the past.

If you are after shock absorber bushes etc have a look at http://www.superflex.co.uk/categories.php?cat=73
Hidden away at the bottom of the superflex front page. Give Chris there a ring, I am sure he will match dimensions if reqd but TR7 rear shock bushes are here http://www.superflex.co.uk/proddetail.p ... 76-0809-70
