- Siberian Bushing install Pt 1 (Montero/Pajero)
In this first video, we will be installing Siberian Polyurethane bushings in the rear trailing arms of the Monty. This will be the same process for a Pajero as well! Big thanks to @toastyfab for some pointers and info.
Go get this awesome product at siberianbushin...
They also have bushings for many different vehcile makes and models!
Awesome video man! I’ll be waiting for part 2. Thanks a lot for the shutout! 🙌🏻🤘🏻🇨🇱
Thanks man! I think yours was a better video than mine haha!
Looking forward to Part 2!
Yes. Looking forward to the follow-up and any advice on Montero
I’m planning on buying a Siberian Bushing kit for my 02 Montero Sport.. thinking I might do it.. also heard you mentioned toastyfab and I was like ayyy going to sub lol
Thanks man! Yeah that guys awesome. Super helpful with any questions and so knowledgeable. Bought my manual hubs from him.
Show!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m curious how the ones you’ve installed are holding up for you so far. I’ve seen some reviews on Amazon for these bushings and some, admittedly a small number, say the PU is separating from the crush tubes and races after a few months. This would be more evident and problematic on a front control arm vertical bushing, where most of the forces acting on it would be prying force on a smaller race to PU adhesion surface (vs axial torsion on a horizontal one). I bought Siberian replacements for all the bushings on my car, since they are about 16 years old and most are torn or about there. I like the idea of a PU based OEM style bonded replacement, vs a typical PU bearing style that all other PU manufacturers make. I do have some experience with liquid PU and on its own it doesn’t have the adhesion properties that rubber does, unless something else was blended into it, or something is done to the bonding surface beforehand. I was considering the possibility of this type of separation, but bought them anyway before I saw the Amazon reviews. Now I’m wondering is it’s worth the effort to install them. Were these reviews oddball QC or installer failures, or does the design not work?
Well I still have to install them on the front so I can’t say for that, but the rear ones so far have been great and sate still holding up normally.
@@dahlenadventures Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing what your experience is with the fronts. I think I’ll start with the front, since that’s a smaller job on my car, and it’ll be easier to see if there’s an issue. If they look good after several months I’ll do the rears with the Siberian brand.
The Siberian bushings I'm looking at are a two piece design for the diff side. I'm assuming they just changed them recently? Says they are easier to install.
Probably so. It would definitely make them easier to install since pressing the lip past wouldn't be needed.
It's been 4years how was this bushing brand holding up for the customers? Did it deteriorated?
You reused the oem race? If so did you press in the race and then afterwards you press the bushing in ?
How have the bushings held up on the front / rear control arms? Did the ride get much stiffer? Trying to do the same on my 1999 gen 2.5
It really didn't stiffen it up a crazy amount and they are holding up very well. I would highly recommend for a Montero/Pajero with worn out bushings
Was there a reason besides being old bushings, why you changed it?
Mostly because of old worn out bushings but being polyurethane they will hold up to the abuse to off road driving a lot better.
@@dahlenadventures By the way, do you know what is the OD size of that trailing arm to diff bush? Apparently there are 2 sizes. A 60mm and 65mm. hard to measure when still on the vehicle, lol. It's my daily driver so can't really remove without the parts ready. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure that it will be the same process for a Pajero?
The part numbers might be different but the process should be the same one very similar.
Is there a list somewhere that shows how many of each piece I need to buy? Thanks.
