Mine that tore in half was yellow.
Rich

 

Why would you fit parts that are not subject to Fords development programme to such an important part of your car. The standard item is used on mine & has been replaced once in 21 years.

 

I don't have this product but TBH I wouldn't want a replacement that they're offering, i'd be worried this happened again. I'm with Rod on this one, especially since the aftermarket version is proven to be inferior.

 

Tab mine is yellow and in to halfs. Why do you keep saying we (cr) are you something more to do with this than letting on?.
What does your mate propose to do about the fact i cant drive my car and its his companys fault also i still have had no call bk from the so called CR.... Im not happy and would like a refund as i have no faint in this part or the company as u can getting hold of your mate and no one else can please can you arrange this. Pm me

 

i got my one from burtons and its been fine,

 

Can you still get the original ford bush then? I tried ford before I replaced it first time round and they said they couldnt get it.

 

Ronnie who was your one made by? was it a poly one cheeRS dave

 

Any news on the new bush? anyone recieved one yet?

 

No its all gone quiet, i needs this sorted

 

Nope nothing heard from them either and I do keep ringing them but no answer.
Rich

 

Same as mate have you seen the superflex ones burton sell?

 

I've taken the old one to a machinist mate of mine he's going to make me one out of steel.
So i'd just like a refund from concept racing to be fair.
Rich

 

sory mate only just remembered about this,

it's a poly one from burtons,

super flex i think?

 

Same here, im not even going to use the one i have as i dread to think what would happen if there was a failiure at over 100mph

Top of the page. Are these ones any good then? Do these fall off randomly?


** that link dont work, its top of the list of bushes for a 2wd cos**

 

i got one also off concepr racing and it lasted 2 days said it too em ages ago and still got no refund - didnt mention it here because they said it hadnt happened any of the rest and just taut i must have done something wrong while fitting it - little did i know that everyone of them was made of chocolate

 

Right done some research (thanks 2 dan@ Rapid ford) there is a bush that is simular off of a land rover 90 defender it goes on the end of the column before the steering box. Does anyone know anymore been scrapping through the internet and cum up blank..
Landrover are more than useless.
Need to call up the Ex's bro he's shit hot on old farmer stuff keep you posted

 

i like your wheels mate,how much did they cost an where did you get them from??

 

Wheres tabetha? Maybe he can shed some light?

 

Superflex sell this type of item as well.
Similar price, and i've not hear any issues wiith theirs.

Slightly worrying what is happening to the above ones, especially if you were doing 100 mph

 

no refunds for them then either which makes it worse cant even make contact with the company shower of wankers , they surely sold 10 or 15 between here and ebay and now dissapeared , thats a handy 3 or 400 pounds they got , thankfully i got a second hand replacement thanks to passionford

 

i've got a 4x4 and at the top of the intermediate steering shaft there's a rubber bush inside a sleeve where the top joint attatches to the shaft. that went on mine,really bad play in the steering wheel,my mech said he wouldn't even drive it in that condition. got it replaced now,absolute joy to drive again

 

i think i must of been lucky , in 5 years ive never had a steering problem and cant recall checking the colum bush , worth checking by the sounds of it .

 

So this is what they look like when they break...
Parked up in halfords and bang 4inches of play in my steering.
limped it back to my friends and took it apart and try to use a suzuki Sj bush but it was just to big.
One phone call to a good friend JoeRS and he lent me one off a car he was breaking. Fitted that and alls good, while it was in the air i found a Bmw E46 steering column and cut it up and guess what!!! The bush is the same as the Orignal ford one happy days.
Now my mate is cutting me up some inserts and we should be as good as new will ad pics when it comes back from Track designs....

 

fuck me! You had more left than I did!

 

I have just ripped another one of these shitty bushes, when is this concept racing con man going to sort us out? Am I going to have to spend another Ł30 on a different bush from burton's. Well pissed off at the moment!

Tabetha, you've gone quite about this matter. Do you know something we don't? Is there any intention of concept racing supplying an improved design?

 

i got a full refund off em mike , total nuisance at the same time tho, was tabetha involved ? i was sure i was left high and dry till i got my refund

 

Well tabetha knows the bloke from concept racing and he has been our middle man so to speak.

Ill try giving them another call tomorrow and see what response I get.

 

NICE SOFAS DAVE.......!

 

Blimey - just found this thread and I got one of these in readiness for when I needed to repair the original one day - it aint going on now!!!!

 

Nope, I wouldn't put it it on if I were you!

 

Any one got a new number for this lot surely we can get them done for dodge parts??

 

that is scary!!!

 

Can you imagine if someone had binned it on a track day doing a ton?!?!
Rich

 

or drove into an oncoming car on the road I wonder how much shit you'd be in if that happened

The pics of whats left of that bush is shocking the std one has braiding in it to hold together even if it tears.

I can't believe Tabatha hasn't replied to this thread - He was the one recommending the product and got you lot to buy them even listing the ebay numbers and he's posted on other threads giving more advice ignoring this one.

If you'd bought it from a proper company they would have public/product liability insurance and a phone number that they would answer.

This is a good reason for buying from companys NOT from some that can do it cheaper. You have remember your playing with other road users lives.

 

This is really bad, looking at those pics it may as well have been made of blu tack!

 

I have just fitted on of the super flex ones from burtons, so we will have to see how that performs! I did ask burton if there had been any problems with them and they said no, so fingers crossed!

 

 

Scary !!!!

 

Cant believe i've only just found this thread, i fitted one of these to my car and the same thing happened to it, i didn't even get it out of the garage!!!

I thought i must have done something wrong while fitting it, pissed off that it failed but i'm glad it did it when it did and not on the road!!!!
