Default Help - need a miricle

Guys,

I am due to be on the Angl sey track day on Saturday and was finishing my suspension bush replacement (which has costed me the best part of 12+ hours this week getting the corroded heaps of **** off

Got my replacement bolts from honda today and went to put the polybush bushings into the wishbones.

Halfway through, I come to the realisation that there are 2 missing (the rear lower wishbone front bush on both sides. Checked the packaging - nothing there

I'm based in Ireland. If any one knows anyway of getting those missing bushings by tomorrow (doesn't have to be polybush - anything will do) I would be forever in their debt, otherwise I'll probably have to cancel the trackday and Polybush will know all about it tomorrow.

At this point I think I am going to cry. Thanks for reading..





P.S. I really hope I misplaced them - back to searching the garage......

Hope you've found 'em. If not and depending how early you need them, if any time tomorrow would do, you could phone one of the traders off this site first thing in the morning and see what they've got in stock and whether they can be persuaded to contact DHL for a same day shipment (would cost a fortune, but if you're desperate it might be worth a try).

Given I know nothing about bushings, a quick Google tells me that Driftworks might have what you need if they're in stock (but I could be looking at completely the wrong thing) if you could persuade them re delivery - I've never used 'em though so don't know what they're like, service-wise.

Really hope you get it sorted - good luck.

Thanks for your help but they turned up (2 hours to find them... and they were in a very obvious place....)

Crisis averted....

Is too late to do that anyway, Poly need a while to settle down even if you got it done today and get the Geo setup right, all the setting will be out again within 20 mins as soon as you drive it out.

We just did a complete poly bush on a S2000, got the Geo done on Tuesday and went for a test drive on Wednesday. Put it on the ramp again and camber and toe were everywhere and Caster moved to positive for another degree So we have to do everything again back to the setup we put in originally, redo the test drive and put it on the ramp again, everything is spot on this time!

So if you gonna do it, put a base setup on the car first, go out for a good 20 mins drive with some corners and then do the Geo again!

But anyway good luck with finding the bush!
