Corrosion in Rear Arm Bush Housing

Post by Wychall »

I am presently replacing the rubber bush in the rear suspension arm, but having removed the old bush I find corrosion in the eye that the bush came out of.

How do I best overcome this as I know that the new bush will not go in straight whilst that hole is there.
