done my Front Radius Arm bushes

Pikey · Jun 21, 2009

Changed the Front radius arm bushes. Think I'm gonna claim a LZ record unless anyone else has managed to get both front bushes out in 1 piece in less than 2 minutes.

Was hoping it would cure the death wobble. & when I did the N/S one & took it for spin it was a lot better. But when I fitted the O/S bushes the wobble came back worst than it was before. Only at 50mph now instead of 42ish!! So doing Swivel pins & wheel bearings next weekend

1st set the rubbers fell out in one piece.

2nd less than 2 minutes to get em both out.

New and old chassis bushes

How you get them out.

Air hammer won't help you. Smallest cold chisel & a drift are what you need.

LR Series.

i have a cold chisel for the air hammer it will slice straight through the old bush like butter so it will just fall out

Pikey · Jun 21, 2009

will bounce like fook on the rubber and get yu nowhere.

Trick is to :

Bend outer sleeve inwards towards the centre of the bush, Then Insert small cold chisel between the outer sleeve & the wall & hammer it down between the 2 of them. This forces the outer ring to fold in on it'self and it's diametre reduces. Thus allowing it to fall or be knocked clean out of the radius arm.

PS wanna buy a disco axle???

G-man · Jun 21, 2009

whaddya want for the disco axle? what condition is it in? how the fook will it get from all the way over there to over here

Pikey · Jun 21, 2009

Well it got me home in one piece no rattles or shakes. Too be honest not really had a look at it. but assuming it's in reasonable condition I was thinking £75 inc Callipers etc as a bare axle tends to fetch around £100 on fleabay at the mo.
