- Old ARB diameter = 18.49mm
- Old bush internal diameter when hole closed by hand (off the ARB) = 18.01mm
- Old bush part number = RGX101090
- Old bush closes completely around the ARB with no air gap at the joint
- New ARB diameter (after shot blasting & repainting) = 23.18mm
- New bush internal diameter when hole closed by hand (off the ARB) = 22.02mm
- New bush part number = RBX000180
- New bush does not close at all around the new ARB - air gap at the joint is 2-3mm
Here's the new RH bush on the car.
The old and new U brackets are the same in profile - i.e. there's no difference in size or shape of the U.
Unless there's a third bush we don't know about (one with a bigger hole than RBX000180) I can't see how to solve the air gap.
