Hello,

at my V8S I must change the rear "Trailing Arm Bushes".
Can anyone tell me where I can get these.

Are they the same as the Chimaera or Griffith bushes?

Thanks for help.

Regards from Austria,
Alex

I don't know of anywhere other than TVRcarparts that sells the original spec bushes.

You'll also need a mother of a press or get someone to else to press them in with the appropriate kit - i.e. a garage (I got a local Caravan place to do them - they charged me £25 + Vat)

Now I have started a enquiry at "TVR Car Parts"

This is no problem - some of my friends are mechanics and they have tools for this work.

I managed to get two from a leaf spring manufacturer in Darlington for a Tenner, not saying you should drive all the way to the Midlands, but they are out there. There are places on the internet that do them but you may have to compromise on size slightly!

Was that www.jones-springs.co.uk by any chance ?

I spoke with them a year or more ago, gave them all the measurements but they said they couldn't match them !!!
