gloide69 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Hi I'm just cleaning up and painting my front suspension parts, (1963 TR4), and I'm putting together a list of new bushes etc. I need to replace. The upper wishbone inner bushes I've removed are steel/nylon, I don't think this is standard? I'm considering of replacing these with poly-bushes, but would I still need the steel sleeve? Is there any advantage to keeping them nylon? Thanks Paul Edited October 30, 2020 by gloide69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gloide69 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I went and bought a set of poly-bushes from Moss, and I thought I'd share how I fitted them to the upper arms. I struggled at first as they need a fair bit of pressure to get them started in the hole and with the grease they slipped around quite a bit and were difficult to constrain. I used a large socket to contain the bush as shown in the pictures, then if was fairly easy to get the bush started in the arm, once started they pushed home easily by hand.

Geko Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Or long bolt and nut with 2 big washers across the bush and arm, tighten the assembly. Apply grease liberally Quote Link to post Share on other sites
