Steve Polden Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi - has anyone fitted the SuperFlex bushes to to the lower rear wishbone trunnion that attaches to the vertical link? With the bushes fitted and the washer, I cannot see how they will fit as the gap is not enough. I know it should be a good fit but I cannot even get the wishbone on before I add the width of the washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 There, s been comments that on some kits the disc washers are too thick you may have to make up a stud and nut and jack the upright apart a little. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Crewes Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Steve I recommend that you speak to Garth at Club Shop; he sells the bush kits and may be able to advise. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Polden Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for the pointers but in the end I rang Superflex and spoke to their team. Apparently the washers are not required when the faces on the vertical link and wishbone are machined, so bushes can be fitted without them. The faces do though have to be very clean/no rust etc. I'd had it shot blasted anyway but have also applied an electric wire brush to ensure they are clean. Anyway all fitted and I'll see how they last, made a note of the name and of the chap I spoke too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
