Rear lower link bushes

[benebob]

Where can I get some? Didn't see them on superflexs site. Still have a neg camber issue after replacing the trailing arm bushes.

Benebob,

Did you ever find these bushings? I see the bushings for the later style rear suspensions but not the early style. Anybody have a part number or a cross reference? Also, there's a bushing at the front of the differential carrier that I haven't seen anywhere either. Any ideas on this one?

I remember getting poly bushes for my trailing arm 350i but this was many many years ago now.

It did make the back end more predictable though.

Mine are just kinda clapped out. Cracked up and the inner and outer sleeves are all askew to each other.

The big one at the front of the trailing arm is now a repro part, however it was also used (in the same place) on the Lotus Esprit and there's probably more of those in the USA than TVRs.

The bush at the front of the diff cradle might well be the same one that was used on the tie-rods of the later A-frame cars but my big book of scribbles isn't to hand so I can't check.
Similarly, the lower rear link on the trailing arm setup possibly uses the same bushes as the A-frames... again I can't check, sorry.
I'm sure if you can identify the ID, OD and length of inner & outer tubes it'll be possible to find either a direct replacement or one that could be modified on a lathe... I know this probably means pulling the diff out
