Rear Subframe bushes

Anyone know if the rear subframe bushes(or insulators as they seem to be called) are the same as the older granada? The ones listed here look similar but most say up to 94/95.

I'm doing the rear springs on my Scorpio pick up and have now checked the bush on drivers side and it is absolutely fine as I suspected. I had another heated discussion with an mot tester friend that came round. He always pokes about bushes with big bar and usually says oh not good when I think stuff is fine. I'm sure there are a lot of "bush" failure mot's nowadays because it "may" be away with no sounds of knocking etc. Anyway-my wee rant over.

I have a feeling the Scorpio rear suspension set up is based on the Sierra and should use the same bushes.
The large bushes through which the rear beam is bolted to the body are a right pain to change...I did these on my Sierra several years ago with the entire rear suspension removed from the car.

Cheers Mike. I think you may be correct that all these type bushes might be the same ones on sierra, granada MK3 and scorpio. I actually have a spare rear axle from a scorpio with good bushes in it although I dont need them now. In future it may be a decision to swap over the full axle rather than change bushes but that is for another day.

Whilst you can manage to fit them, they're not right - I tried them some time ago and took them out & put the old ones back.
