There's no helping me.

I thought that one was the other one which . . . .

Hi.
Has anyone thought of contacting Polybushes; http://www.polybushings.com/

If you gave them the size of bush you need they may have some decent poly bushes you can use instead of the standard issue ones plus, they will be better.

Just a thought

Geoff.

May try as suggested above, as Matt has sent me out the upper wishbone bushes, and confirmed the lower wishbone inboard bushes are no longer available.

Unless anyone has any other leads please .....

www.IGUS.com most any bush you can think of in metric and imperial sizes... many materials for various environments...

If using modern materials I would recommend having some polished smooth bolts or pins made up for the bushes to pivot on, putting used bolts through them will kill them fairly quickly...

klarzy · 11th May 2015, 21:37

do you happen to have the dimensions of the bushes?

Typhoon190 · 11th May 2015, 21:38

Thanks for that link Peter. I shall investigate.

I don't think these bushes rotate on the bolts. They are clamped in the subframe, the movement being taken up in the rubber?

It looked to me that when fitting new bushes, the car would need to be back on the deck before torquing everything up.

Vibration bushes... I may have a supplier for them too.... anyone got a sample...

A few busted ones, and a BMW one that's 10mm too short.
