A-arm bushes
Jonas - 18/1/12 at 12:38 PM

Hi!

Im building a Luego Velocity kit bought many years ago.
I have managed to lose one of the A-arm bushes.
I rather not buy a complete kit as I only need 1 (half), does anybody have 1 or 2 that I can buy?

Hi,

I have some metalistic suspension bushes I have taken out of my Tiger Avon as I'm swapping to the nylon type bush.

They have been inserted and removed but not used on the road - as the car is unfinished. If you can find out if these will fit your suspension I'll send them to you for the cost of the postage.

Cheers
Ian

Thanks, but the bushes I need are the black nylon type (as supplied by Luego).

Can't help with any bushes but if you haven't already seen it do a search on here for crush tubes , It may save you loads of grief.

Im aware of the crush tube problem (if you mean they are to tight?)
I have solved it by turning down the flanges on the bushes in a lathe.

The best solution is to throw the hard plastic bushes away and by proper bushes along with stainless crush tubes from a respectable company. I know it is expensive but it is the best way.

I have a spare pack of bushes with crush tubes, but they are blue powerflex ones. Will also need to confirm dimensions!
