Trailing Arm Bolts?
Posted: 14 Jun 2016, 10:52
I've just bought some new bushes to go into the trailing arms on my 1981 T3, and on trying some 12 mm bolts found that they were a terrible fit. The bolts are brand new high quality items, so it's not them - are the bushes all like this? I assume a certain amount of clearance is necessary to get everything to line up due to the staggered mountings, but as an ex-racecar engineer, I find myself struggling to accept it! I'd therefore be most grateful if anyone who knows about this would be kind enough to let me know their thoughts on the matter!
