Does anyone have any suspension bush drawings?

I will be able to get some made at a very low price I just need the dimentions.

Many thanks,

Dan

i got a drawing from Rally design some time ago. dont know if there is anything on their web site?

I'd suggest getting your wishbones first as there are various different sizes of bush tubes/housings depending on the manufacturer of the wishbones. There isn't a 750MC regulation regarding poly bush size btw.

I have done a drawing showing the different poly bush dimensions as sold by Wisbech/Rally Design/Superflex and Powerflex but if you're having them made it will depend more on the wishbones. Quite happy to send it over though if you want it

don't suppose you could send me the drawing, i'm just facing up to remaking my trailing arms and have to decide on sizes (And if i go rose joint or not).

I'm interested as well in the drawing

Any good?



I'll get my coat

Very good RazMan :-)

pdfs sent to all who asked - I gave my money to superflex in the end, far from the cheapest but they knew exactly what they were talking about when I phoned them up and rather than just getting my credit card details they were actualy interested in selling me what what I needed... unlike some...., tbh they were an absolute pleasure to deal with and I got exactly what I wanted so I'm very happy. Skimp on this kind of basic stuff and your car will be rubbish imho

No sign of the pdf here? I have a spam filter which deletes all spam emails, I have switched that off, could you please try sending the pdf again

Cheers

what is the going rate for a pair of bushes and crush tube (ie what you need for one end of a trailing arm).

I'm curious how the cost of a bush compares to a rose joint.


D Beddows - 9/6/08 at 10:36 AM

Varies quite a lot - from about £4 to £15 if I recall.

Hi Dave sounds to me like you have had experience of using these bushes before. And finding out thier benefits

Cheers Matt

Who me? Lets just say I didn't spend my money with the company who when asked what Shore rating their bushes came in replied 'Wots that then mate?'...........
