ARB Bushes

[adam quantrill]

Those of you who have fitted superflex - are they lasting OK?

I have one missing and need to order some - there are some on the flea quite cheap (Steve Heath it looks like) but will need drilling out to my ARB size.

My ARB clip it still there though and I think can be bent back for re-use.

Are there any other suppliers of these?

Having just removed my ARB, I'll look at my bushes (poly) after I've finished my cuppa.

I got my poly bushes from rt racing about 4 years ago and approx 8,000 miles ago and they are like new adam.

Had a close look at the bushes, and given that they've been on the car for about 15 years (45K miles), they're not too bad. One very small hole through wear. However, whilst I've got the bar off,I will get some new poly bushes. FYI, the ARB on my car is 1" dia. Would also suggest drilling and bolting the lower end of the ARB bracket (the SH mod from years ago). Never had any pop out since doing mine.

I got two new ARB bushes last year of Neil at ML Performance. Good price and fast service.

Mine is 26mm so I suppose one inch plus accumulated crud!

I fitted an old spare for now and fettled the bent bracket which should be OK for the MoT retest.

Mine are 25.4mm on the vernier calliper. Bushes did fit fine, but I replaced with a complete new bracket and bush set, as mine were drilled top and bottom.

Anyone had a problem with the ARM drifting left or right when fitting the above, I had to fit some stops as mine was drifting, I did have Rose joined drop links also.

I've got stops on the racer also, but this has solid aluminum bushes.
