I originally posted this question as part of another thread but got no replies so I reckoned it may just have got lost in there.

So here it is with a thread all of it's own .....

These bushings came in a box in the boot of the car.

Can any of you confirm if they are replacements for the lower suspension bushings or, if not for there, then what they are for (and before some smart-arse says "the one on the left is a golf ball" I put it in the picture to indicate the size of them).



Thanks.

Give me an outer diameter measurement and I'll be able to tell you. I suspect they'll be 25.2mm which would make them good for any of the following locations:

FRONT SUSPENSION
upper inner front
lower inner rear

REAR SUSPENSION
any rear bush except for the upper inner front one

I'll try to borrow something to measure them accurately with and I'll post it as soon as I can.

If a rough measurement looks like 25mm then that'll be the ones - no other Cerb ones are close to the same diameter IIRC.

Wow.

Just over 12 hours before the golf ball got a mention on this thread.

I'd wondered how long it'd take ....
