Sorry not been on for a while as on a course.
When I recently dropped the whole back end of mine i made a copy of the tool . I did seem to work and was a nice small tap with a hammer to fit in the gaps .
The only thing is it was done to whatever my chassis was, Im presuming it would have been as it left the factory ?? so if it was wrong there then mine is wrong.
However i did use it to put it all back and has recently been on an alignment and everything checked out .
Basically I'm prepared to lend it out for free but ask you drop a donation into a charity for whoever uses it .
Well, cant say fairer than that. Next question, where are you based ? When I recently dropped the whole back end of mine i made a copy of the tool . I did seem to work and was a nice small tap with a hammer to fit in the gaps .

I’ve just finished the trialing arm bushes on my car now.
So if Dan is happy for me to do so, I’ll post it onwards. It did fit up nice and snug.
One thing to note is the large bolts through the centre of the big subframe bush is no longer available even in Australia.
Wretched motorsport in the US has got some made up in high tensile as opposed to torque to yield so you can re use them.

I've had several rear ends in and out and never used one. Never had a problem, is it really that necessary?
As the holes in the bushes allow a lot of movement, I reckon it's worth it, yes.
Is it necessary ? Maybe not. Is it necessary to have an alignment done ? maybe not. Is it necessary to change Oil? maybe not.
Your car ,your choice.
