Thust washers.

[lavingp]

Or even Thrust washers...
I have read that its good practice to fit thrust washers to the front suspension wishbone bushes a la Cerbera. My newly acquired Griff doesn't have them and I would like to fit them. My question is, do they go on all four bushes each side (i.e. eight per car), or is it just the top front bush each side?


TIA
Paul.

All the bushes, both sides. (on mine at least). Do them when the bushes need changing - they prevent the bushes pulling through so quickly (front top ones especially).

Had this done to mine, along with new front top wish bones, the newer style 1 piece units being stiffer than my original 2 piece ones (4.3) The difference was amazing, and the whole job was not that expensive.

Paul,
I don’t know where you are, but talk to Joolz. He had a look at mine yesterday and the top ones have moved a bit, but he said not yet a problem. If you do want the bushes replacing, believe me he is the man.

Cheers,

Simon.

I'm in Kent, which is quite a way from Jools I believe.
I would probably do them myself. (I once replaced ALL the bushes on my 3000M-glutton for punishment).
I think my bushes are in a similar state to yours, so will keep an eye on them.
Thanks,

Paul.
