Well I got in from work last night, swmbo was having her hair done. So I took the offending box into the garage, out of sight out of mind, and she never said a word!

So when's the next group buy?

Thanks for your efforts on this, top work!

Note:

Lower shock (middle bush and roll pin have to be ground away to almost flush with body of arm to fit)

Pics to follow. I have just successfully fitted one side

Rob,

Have posted you posted mine ?

peteT16 · Post by **peteT16** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:09 pm

There also seems to be major difference of size between the bolt diameter and the tubes in the bushes.

Post by **ghall2004** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:09 pm

Issue i found is the shock/strut fork/leg fouls the middle bush and roll pin. and no, it wont just open up

2nd last image shows how much has to be "trimmed" not pretty but as a result i have successfully fitted one side

Inner bolt, shock bolt, outer bolt ( hub) and the anti roll bar aswell

Sit back and wonder is it worth it?

Would you get away with pressing the bush out an swapping in a superflex out the old arm?

peteT16 · Post by **peteT16** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 5:45 pm

I just compared Honda and MGR bolt sizes, they are both 10mm so I assume the clearances are correct, it just seems odd that they fit like cobbler down a sleeve

Geo_coupe · Post by **Geo_coupe** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:22 pm

Whipped one of my rear arms off just now for a comparison, original arm with a superflex bush is 41mm thick at the lower shock mounting and new lower control arm is 50mm at this point. Original arm has the bush at a slight angle whereas the new arm is straight but not sure that will make any difference?

recived yesterday many thanks

rover__dan · Post by **rover__dan** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 7:31 pm

received mine the other day, many thanks.

Surely we should not have to cut these to make them fit?

ttrw2 · Post by **ttrw2** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 7:39 pm

The bushes supplied in the arms fit the inner and outer locations OK?

Firose, yes your's have been posted.

Vinny, will check online at home in a bit

Geo_coupe · Post by **Geo_coupe** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:03 pm

Other 2 bushes seem fine on mines Rob, just the shock mount one thats too thick.

New

Old

Post by **ghall2004** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:38 pm

Rob

Middle one is the only issue

i have one arm fitted ok.

ttrw2 · Post by **ttrw2** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:28 pm

OK, great effort Geo_Coupe, thanks for the precise measurements

Post by **ghall2004** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:38 pm

wheres the credit to me for actually having one fitted?

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:41 pm

technically the car that arrived in my unit today had them fitted already..

But top man for fault finding.

That's abit of a git wasn't planning on have to do any mods to them to make fit

E_T_V · Post by **E_T_V** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:03 pm

Eeep my car is on axle stands outside halfway through fitting them. (need to fit them tomorrow as need the car for work on monday).

What do I need to do?

Post by **BazR** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:13 pm

Seems like you need to trim 10mm from the centre pin. Those bushes are possible 2 parts, removing 5mm from each of those would be the way to go as well.

Hacksaw solves all as far as I can see.

Geo_coupe · Post by **Geo_coupe** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:15 pm

I might see if the bush will come out tomorrow, if not it'll be into work and on the mill

E_T_V · Post by **E_T_V** » Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:24 pm

I'm just concerned that if there is no (very little) bush there then any vibration is going to transfer straight up the shock and into the car!

E_T_V · Post by **E_T_V** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:01 am

Just been out to check and indeed.

Original bush width = 40mm
Skunk = 50mm
