Suspension bushes!!!

[davidsc]

I'm refreshing the suspension bushes on my Tuscan and I just want to make sure I'm buying the correct ones.

I need:

front upper wishbone bushes
front lower wishbone bushes

rear lower wishbone bushes

I need all of the above for both sides, 12 bushes in total, can someone confirm the correct ones?

[davidsc]

Can anyone help?

I think I need the following (I'm doing all the wishbone bushes now, 16 in total.)

I need to do this and also was unsure of what is needed. TVR Power offers a package with thrust washers. You may however need other bits. I worked out that I would possibly need the following.


X2 TVR D0072 Wishbone rear upper
X4 TVR C0200 Bush
X2 TVR D0104 Bush
X2 TVR C0172 Drag strut arm bush
12 TVR C0192 thrust washers
X2 TVR D0342 Wishbone adjuster assembly
X2 TVR D0341 Wishbone adjuster bush
X2 TVR D0086 Wishbone adjuster locknut
X2 TVR D0067 Wishbone Adjuster

Cheers for that!

Looks like I had the correct ones. £185.25 from TVR Parts - quite saving.

Are you doing it yourself? Yours seem correct, I am changing the rear upper wishbones.

You need:
6 x TVR C0200 Wishbone bush
4 x TVR D0341 Wishbone adjuster bush
4 x TVR D0104 Wishbone bush
2 x TVR C0172 Drag strut arm bush
12 TVR C0192 thrust washers

May also need:
X2 TVR D0342 Wishbone adjuster assembly (includes bush D0341) If needed reduce number of bushes bought in above list by 2
X2 TVR D0086 Wishbone adjuster locknut
X2 TVR D0067 Wishbone Adjuster

Just noticed powers come with £50 worth of thrust washers. I've emailed them for a quote - didnt really understand if VAT was added on their prices or not.

All my adjusters are fine luckily so it's just the bushes I need.

How's the paint coming along? I've just ordered a touch up pot from the link you sent on FB. It doesn't seem to come up as bright as mine.

[davidsc]

After the suspension work is done the paint will be going on - probably mid April. I'm waiting for my Nitrons to be returned to me!

I thought it may be slightly different, mine looks alot darker than yours does. I wander why?

[S6 Devil]

I've just emailed the supplier. I can hardly get any colour to come through from the touch up pot. Only a speckled green, no blue. I wonder if it is the Alsa corp paint or a copy.

[davidsc]

Thats no good, did you see my video on FB? Is it darker than that?

[S6 Devil]

Yes, seems darker than that and can't see any blue. Not heard back yet.

All the bushes quoted from where ever all require to be push in with some press /tools, just a thought why not use poly bush, these just push in by hand. Admitted you still need to force the old ones out

I've been told that the polybushes are a bit too harsh for the Tuscan, so I'll keep them standard.
