Wishbone Bushes.

Post by maxstu »

Hi all,
Am now mentally set to renew the bushes according the excellent Wilki information.
Any other special tips to prevent it all going belly up would be grateful?
Especially the best way to remove the control arm shaft. Drift it out, right?
I've been using pen oil around all revalent bits for the last seven days to loosen things.
cheers

That's what I plan to do this year !! ( because I understand that cutting / grinding and spot welding is involved !! )

Anyone know what it costs ?

i am taking mine to Brickwerks as soon as Mr Baxter is up to it again in april, even though its a 200mile round trip.. I know i could do it, but sometimes its just easier to let someone who has done it lots and knows the ins and outs do it. its not very expensive either
