I have just got my 30 year old pre-lit back on the road after 13 years in garage. Car has original SPAX dampers. The rear damper rubber bushes are perished (soft and sticky) which probably accounts for the jarring crash up my spine when I go over pot-hole. Is it possible to replace the rubber bushes? Should I replace the dampers: the damping adjustment has never seemed to work? If they should be replaced, does anybody have some (good) used ones for sale? Usage is road: i'm not going to race it.

Hi All, So - I am two weeks into the ownership of my first Westfield. SEIW - 1.8 Zetec - 45's and red.. :-) Love it! However, ownership is not running as smoothly as I would like! I am experiencing a somewhat hard ride and "twitchy" handling when driving on normal roads. It just doesn't feel particularly planted and feels quite nervous. As a newbee I have taken the time to search and read the previous posts within the forum. from what I understand this could be down to the following : - Alignment ( Camber, toe in etc ) - Damper settings - ARB - PSI Everything else on the car is great - Engine is sweet.. So - as a first step, I would like to get the alignment checked - can anyone recommend a garage who can assist in the surrey Area - closest to Egham would be helpful! Also - may be a silly question, but is every garage who offer laser wheel alignment able to do this setup? Also Also - do you have any tips regarding the above which would assist? Thanks Lots!
