Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 Suspension

[Rui Gigante (rui.gigante]

My 328 had it's MOT inspection last saturday. I have a complete set of poly
bushes to install, but according to the guy that did the test, the original
bushings didn't show any slack, and I don't feel any.
However, at 82.000Km I do notice some noise from the rear bearings (both
sides), so don't forget to check them
