Suspension bushes 98 Griff

[adamc]

can someone please tell me the part number or ford/Chevy/Lada equivalent for the front suspension bushes. I have a '98 Griff.

One of mine has failed, and the car is off the road until I can get replacements.

I would prefer to source locally as there is a high quality nylon bush supplier here, and if i can get the equivalent, I can get the car back on the road in less than 2 months. Yes, I'm in Australia, which is generally a good thing, except when you need parts for a car like this

Is my workshop being silly telling me I have to find out this info? Is the info in the Bible (because I bought a copy and its in the back of the car which is in the workshop)...?

Yes and no. The parts are TVR specific. Get them from a TVR dealer somewhere or an independent. Some indies sell poly versions which last longer but you might need to replace the whole set.

The other possibility is to remove a good one and then get something made locally bearing in mind the stiffness of the rubber material.

adamc .. forget the std bushes, they are generally regarded to be a consumable so go for poly versions .. you have superflex i australia , they do direct replacements .. mail me offline for part numbers.

PS only go for the the hard red superflex poly bush, the squidgy purple one offer less location than the std bush.

Thanks a million Guys! For the benefit of any Australians here, I have found the contact details of the local Superflex distributor.

Yes, they were very helpful (didn't know much about the Griff), and no, I have no affiliation with them.
