350i Front tie rod bushes

Searched the parts list and the bible but can't find a part number, existing ones past their best
Can anyone help? Preemptive thanks

As far as I know, the bushes and washers are Cortina Mk4 - at least the 2.8 ones are - and your photo looks like the same parts. You can get superflex bushes instead, but they don't come with the large washers.

Hi mate..You will have a job getting the inner washers with the collars..I did manage to get the last two in the country, I was going to see if i could get some copies machined up..I also had 4 of the outer washers sent to me by a fellow PH'er but they never arrived in the post...The bushes are Cortina mk4-5...Do i want to risk sending out the last two washers in case they get lost...
Ill have to think about this one...Ziga

These are the outer washers...It should be 2 x Inner with collars 2 x Outer (as shown) per side.

Did mine 2yrs ago, got them Richard Thorpe (RT Racing), about 20 quid each I think.

Cheers for the quick responses.
I'll strip them down and see which bits need replacing.
There are so many things to do, I'm not sure where to start.

Remember to count the rotations when you undo the nuts as by all accounts the Castor angle will be affected otherwise.
