Front lower wishbone Powerflex bushes
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to mount those bushes properly? I'm a little bit concerned because those bushes aren't screwed. I read that I should hammer them on wishbone. Will it be enough? Will it not fall apart when driving? -- Regards, Adam AR156 1.8 TS `99 |

>From what I recall, the bush is kept in place by a curved piece of
metal(?) that wraps halfway around it. The curved piece of metal is then screwed onto mount holes on the underside of the car. Believe it should be secure. Try looking at the existing setup under your car and I think you'll get what I'm trying to describe. I'm really not an expert in this area though! alterro wrote: > Hello, > Can anyone tell me how to mount those bushes properly? I'm a little bit > concerned because those bushes aren't screwed.

once you get the damn things in they are v v v secure - needs huge force to
get them out. More than the force a car cornering for sure. The difficulty is getting them out with a press in the first place > wrote in message oups.com... > >From what I recall, the bush is kept in place by a curved piece of > metal(?) that wraps halfway around it.

Hi Adam
These bushes are just pressed on to the wish bone pins. If you have the correct size bushes for your lower wish bone they will not come off. The only way to determined the correct bush size is to cut the old bushes off and measure the pin it will be either 20mm or 19mm. If you fit the 20mm Bush on the 19mm pin you will have snag's It has been done. The correct size bush for pin will be very snug but can be achieved without any special tools.

I've already checked and bushes fit. My only concern was the way of putting them on wishbone pins. But you set me at ease. Thanks and best regards -- Adam AR156 1.8 TS '99 |
