Shock absorber bushes
 

Evening all, quick question.

A very nice man and I (and his wife! :) ) will be replacing the bushes and bolts on my car very soon (excited!). I've bought Mugen and powerflex lower bushes, but I've just thought about the bolts that hold the shock absorbers to the bottom suspension arm. Are these bolts and bushes also prone to siezing, or are these generally better than the notorious ones?

Cheers
Andy

they'll be fine Andy as the design of the bolt is much better in that they have grooves along the entire shaft of the bolt. The only ones that generally get stuck are the adjustable ones.
As a side note i've got a full set of bolts here so let me know which ones you need.
Cheers
Rob

You taking a trip to Congleton, Andy?

Cheers Rob, but I've managed to get the bolts etc for a steal from the US.

Ron - I am mate, yes!!

Let me know when you're going down and this time I'll bring biscuits (and not forget).

25th and 26th February Gary.
Looking forward to it!

Rob, the lower ones aren't splined but they don't seize anyway. At least that's the status on my car

Make sure there choccy biscuits (we nearly all died from starvation last time)
we'll have to have a fix it weekend, there be a spare ramp so any jobs you need to do :thumbup:

Ok, so, Powerfelx lower bushes, Mugen compliance bushes and my replacement front ARB links have arrived. Just waiting on the bolts from CFL now.

Really looking forward to getting this job done!

Good luck mine took 17 hours.
