FAIRWYNDS WROTE!

Just a thought, but it WAS bushed wasnt it? I saw one (at a breakers yard!) that was bolted DIRECTLY to the sub frame! The subframe and bar were, to put it politely......s*&%ged!

Looks like structural weakness in the metal finally giving way through corrosion. Not a common occurence I'll wager.

They break fairly frequently.
Usual thing is for the radius rod bush sleeve to be almsot nothing and the rod starts getting nibbled away, sometimes snapping there, between the bushes but I have seen late ones breaking off just after the thread by the bottom arm.
Radius rod bushes I can guarantee will be knackered unless you have had them replaced.
I don't even think I have taken one off and been able to put it back on again.
The sleeves are obsolete hence me getting the stainless ones made.
New sleeves

I repaced the sleves and bushes on my 81 t25 with new parts from GSF
But this was 2 years ago
Have they gone obsolete now
I need to do my 87 t25 now
If they are no longer available I will just make some
