Dear all,

Does anyone could help with further details assembling the front suspension with poly-bushes than the standards?

I ordered the upgrades from RG for the drag strut arm and upper and lower wishbones. Grahams bible does not include an exploded assembly drawing or further details on this and I am not shure how to work with the different diameters on the upper wishbone fixings. (Ph-help-button is missing wink

Regards
Martin

Could anyone help with further details? Or do you all use the standard bushes?

In particular fitting of the back mount of the upper wishbone (with the longer bold) needs further advice. There are no pics in the net which could help.

Replaced all mine with factory standard.

IMO Gives best ride and correct compliance.



Just ensure when re-fitted to chassis they are tightened at the correct centre distance/ride height, so not to unduly stress the bushes

Thanks Graham!

I found out that the problems arised as I thought the front upper wisbone is mounted with bushes (# C0200) front and back. However, it seems that this bush is only used at front and bush (# D0104) used at back, right?
