hello all, i got a set of the deflex bushes, now i have fitted the rear beam ones already to the beam, but you also get a bit round, flat one.

i think i have seen before that this is also for the beam...

soooooooo

where the fook does it go lol?

im guesig that the knobbly bits on the topof the beam bush go against the car, and that the big flat one goes at the bottom, with the cutout bit sitting on the little plate bit that bolts the beam to the car as that has a slightly raised section???

anyone got any pics??

ta

 

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppp

as im about to leave to go back down the lockup, well you got 10 mins cos i need a shit

 

i've tried to put them at teh top but they sort of don't look right
if that makes sense?
i can take pics but i haven't got the lead so can't post them up

you coula always try to glue them into place

 

im pretty sure they would go at the bottom mate, but i couldnt find the box of bushes this morning anyway so didnt chance to look lol

 

the flat bush bits sit on top of the big beam mount against the body of the car, the big bolt goes through it all ...if needed, some dont need it thats why its extra and not fitted to the bush....

 

the only pic i have is of my solid ones, but you can make out which bit is the small bush you have extra its on the top

ah cheers mate, on the poly bush tho, there is like a bit cut out in the middle, not raised like yours

ah fuck it, i cant find em anyway so ill try it with out lol

 

the cut out bit faces up

you may need them

According to this post that disc goes on the bottom .....

 

lol cheers mate, thats the post i vaugly remeber seeing lol

ill put em at the bottom then

cheers

 

thats not what deflex told me... they faxed me a diagram

it goes betwwen the body and the bush... or so THEY say

 

im doing the back of mine with deflex bushes at the weekend so im gonna keep a close eye on this thread......

the flat one does look better at the bottom but god knows

 

it chnges the angle of the rear beam, without it the beam doesnt sit like it did with the standard bushes.....i measured it up

the bloke from deflex said, if you fit it without the spacer, there will be a gap between the bush and the body... thats where it goes. only some need it, so offer it up, if there is a gap use it. if no gap dont use it.

 

maybe i should just keep the standard ford ones in there

so where does everyone think they should go???

 

look at my solid ones...you cant take it off them and put it underneath

 

 

double

they are direct copies of the grp A jobbies

 

Oh yes i can

 

im right arnt i richie? they go on top?

 

im not buying them off you if its wrong

 

~Its an addition and it does go at the top, Its came from an old Group N trick were they would put a steel plate above that main bush to reduce movement as they are only allow a stock bush, Once fitted it still look stock.

 

i knew i was right



for once

 

so we have astablished then that they go at the top

 

think someone should tell the guys above

 

I,m leaving mine on the bottom

Had full alignment check and all is ok,no vibrations on road etc

My m8 fitted his on the top,didn't look right,the gap between beam and chassis was massive.
Also look how much of the standard bush sticks out of the top of the beam,also look how much of a Powerflex beam mount sticks out of the top,both the same as the Deflex with the spacer fitted at the bottom

What are the bobbles on the top of the beam mount for if they sit against this spacer????
The bobbles on standard bush sit against chassis

 

i feel sorry for all the people on the other post about these that have put them at the bottom...... rear beam back off

 

so we are no closer than we were an hour ago

 

You experiment with yours and tell us which way you think they should go

I reckon they go on bottom,the bush/spacer you are talikin about has a cut out on the one side of it,this sits perfectly on the raised part of the bottom plate that bolts upto beam

Ask Stu how my car drove when he live mapped it,he commented on how nice it was on the road

 

i'll let you know at the weekend then

 

Stu always makes nice comments! sometimes it earns him a tip

 

mine drives nice too

with them on the top....

my rear tyres wear perfectly straight aswell

 

oh fucking hell


soooooo.....?

 

buy 2 sets and stick them top AND bottom

that way you will be right on both counts

 

well im gonna experiment with mine at the weekend and see whats what, seems like some people say top and some say the bottom which doesnt really help

 

its top

they are shaped so the cut out bit sits onto the body

 

 

What is the reason for the cut out then????To sit on the flat chassis

They go on the bottom

The cut out fits perfectly onto the bottom plate that bolts upto beam,and the bobbles on the main beam bush sit against chassis,the same as the standard bushes do

 

but the beam doesnt sit in the same place as with the standard bushes without them on top. its all pissed

deflex made the bushes. and told me they go on top, even gave me a diagram when i asked them.

the grp A ones have a spacer on top.

 

in this picture, look at the gap between the beam and the body (A and B) above the mounting. the gap is not equal either side, this is because the beam is mounted to tight to the body ,it needs the spacer to make it straight.

in my opinion this means the wear and forces will be put onto the A side of the bush , point B may not even be touching the body!

If the spacer was above ,as mine is, the beam sits straight.

sorry for the shonkey photoshop work! its late and been a long day!

 

Thats just the way pic is angled

Is the same gap,and beam is straight m8

Will take a level pic if I remember next time I go to farm to work on car

Find a pic of a standard beam bush fitted to beam,the amount sticking out of the top of the beam is the same as the Deflex without the spacer on the top,but the underside of the deflex is smaller than standard bush,so the spacer goes on the bottom
