Shackle Bushes
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 16 1:11 pm
Hi All,
I've just removed the rear shackle bushes and found that their is a lot of rusty scale in the eyes of the springs. I've chipped it out and found that the new rubber bushes have about 1/16" gap all round. Is it ok to install them or are there any oversize bushes on the market.
My only other thought is would it be better to get hold of some polyurethane and make up new bushes just for the spring and use the stock rubber for the chassis mounts.
Cheers - Mike
