Focus/FRS Bush alignment
Hi Guys,
Rear subframe/suspension/brakes etc all out as powder coating everything and fitting poly bushes etc - does anyone have any measurements/angles for the alignment of the pivot bushes? (I should have marked the blades before removing the bushes but didn't)
There is an old photo in an old thread on here which shows the rough alignment but I want to get it spot on.
Thanks

Have you polybushed the rear blades, the bush with the metal rod going through the middle?
This is mine before i removed the bush

This is mine polybushed

If your on standard bushes the setting is only critical as the rod is bonded to the rubber and it is so that the twisting effect does not tear the bush, if you have polybushed this then the rod rotates freely so it does no matter what its position is
You could easily take an angle off the photo of the standard bush i have attached
I love this pic of my rear subby before i installed it

Thanks for the pics, I can work it out from there - I have poly bushed everything except the pivot bushes which is why I need to align.
I like the way your subframe is also in the house - its not just me then!
