POLYURETHANE BUSHES

I recieved my polyurethane bushes yesterday and I can say I'm pleased with the products

A local supplier makes them up for a good reasonable price

Front Outer TCA bush







Front inner TCA bush







Rear Main Beam Bush









Rear inner trailing arm bush (smaller)







Rear outer trailing arm bush (larger)







Rear spring mounts. I have the originals if these don't work out. They still in good condition.







I still need
Rear ARB Bushes. Supplier to still make
Rear diff mount. Supplier needs original to make poly
Front ARB
Front shock strut or turret bushes

Then I will have a complete set

Will be interesting to see how car reacts when it's once its on the road

I'll update once I have the Rear suspension fitted. I'm just busy getting all the bits for the rear end sorted. Still quite a bit to do. Trying to source original set or good quality rear bearing and seal kit at an affordable price. VKBA 918 & VKBA 919

Also still preparing bits for powder coating.

Need to check my fasteners as well might need some plating done

The CV's and side drive shafts still need attention.

Has anyone done DIY servicing on lobro CV's. What is the wear tolerances of the cage, ball and inner race.

On the cage where the ball sits in the openings. Must it be a tight fit,

On the inner race where ball makes contact. If there is slight wear marks and scoring can I sand / grind away smooth and grind away any sharp edges (fine paper) and reuse, considering that ball movement slides up and down(Low friction) appose to spinning (high friction)

Do the surfaces have to be polished shiney smooth. My equipment is lost its shine (through long hours of a soap bath) but is still smooth and clean. I could attempt to polish

Cheers for now
