Ok, so as many of you know, Blackpool Honda are replacing all fo the bushes on my car, as they were all siezed.
The car has come back for the weekend, but is going back because they can't seem to get the P/S rear camber in to spec.
However, I was looking at the work thsi morning and noticed that some of the bushes look odd.

Here is an example. Have they done something wrong here? Put the wrong bushes in?
They are putting Mugen bushes all over the car I believe. I'll ask for a copy of the parts invoice when it is all finished. Does anyone have pictures of all of the Mugen bushes available for the S2000??

The below bush is in the rear lower arm, closest to the driver...

 

I had thought that the Mugen bushes looked the same as OEM bushes but had harder rubber ...

Should look like This

 

I wonder if they have updated the design.

Having a laeger lug to crush tube surface area means you get more friction per torque applied to the bolt. Thus, you don't have to worry as much about the bush spinning and it can properly do it's job of flexing.

That'd be my take on it.

 

See, I thought that too, but I'm sure I remember hearing someone say that Mugen don't do the front bush on the rear lower wishbone. I've had a look at Spoon and they don't do that one either.

Christ I hope they haven't botched this up...

 

Get me a photo of the bush material!

I love looking at bush.

 

That's about as good a photo as I can get on our path Ron, sorry!

...we all love a good bit of bush!

 

Looks like Mr Williams may be right!! There is definitely ribber in there somewhere!!

 

Hi Andy,
Mugen don't do that bush, and the pin rarely seizes in that one, would be interesting to know what bush they have used, make sure you ask them and where they sourced it from,

 

Hey - i'll be on to them on Monday to get the car booked back in with them to finish the job. I'll ask them to send over the parts invoice then.
Seems that they can't get any negative camber on the p/s/r wheel at the minute. I think they have buggered the mounting on the toe arm up and have welded it back too far out, meaning they can't get any camber.

Geniuses....

 

Is there any chance that the above bushes could be spherical bushes? If you google them, some very similar pictures come up!!

If they are, are these going to be bl00dy unbearable?
