Chances are it'll be droplinks and/or rollbarbushes/brackets, easy & relatively cheap to do, get the bits from the bongoshop, bongobits or fleabay. Vectra droplinks'll fit the front, but do the pair if you need to. Loads of info if you do a search, make sure you soak your nuts in penetrating oil, they can be a bit tight after 12 years.

I think boxer shorts are good for tight nuts

Hey I just found this great qote from Kirsty in tech stuff

I'm not sure about the rear motor being compatible, I'm sure with a bit of firkling, it coud be made to fit as it seems to be the same sort of size from memory, I've not had them both out at the same time though to compare.

Kirsty,

I suspect sparkymik is requesting that you tweak his nuts with an extremely large adjustable spanner

I've sent loads of emails to companies producing and selling polybush kits.A good 75% replied as of yet no kits or polybushes are being made for the bongo

After 12 years, anybodys nuts would be tight.

These saab ones - http://www.elkparts.com/product_info.ph ... cts_id/830 - look very similar, so I reckon, armed with the right dimensions you could find them. Do they really make much difference over the standard rubber ones?

I changed them to polly on a previous car of mine, made it a bit tighter and harder if you get me MSF, they do last alot longer than rubber ones aswell
