Ke10 Front Lower Arms - Bushes Or Mods?

[rollababe09]

hey guys, ive been off the site for ages but back again!

 

got a new warrant of fitness so the ke10 is legal again, wasnt for 3mths lol.

 

it passed with flying colours - just a muffler that I knew about already & got replaced that night.

 

anyway, they had noted down for 'next time' that i should look at replacing the

 

Front lower arm bushes, 1 is cracked through.

 

this is NOT a simple quick job to do & parts are a bit on the hard side to get!

Ive found some random site that does 1 part # I'm after.

 

but wanted to see if anyone else had replaced these bushes, did you get new ones, get some made up or opted to

upgrade the suspension or do mods??

 

curious - can't find any info on this in the tech section

 

cheers in advance guys!

Hi,

Took me forever to find replacements for mine but I did.

Pic below:

Imported them from Japan NOT CHEAP....Planning to measure and custom machine some from a bar or raw stock harder Nolathane stuff. But a few other guys here have custom made. As in Australia from what I can find can't get this part :)

 

Cheers

Cameron

I've just responded to your PM rollababe.

 

Mine are the same as Cam's, which is lucky as I unknowingly outbid him when I got mine!

 

The aftermarket part number on the box is CR-4010

appreciate both your replies guys - big help the long part # on the box is thew same @ as I have listed in my factory KE11 parts book.

 

What prices did these go for if you don't mind saying? curious what they will cost on average if i can find some.

Mine came out at roughly $AUD75 with commissions, shipping etc.

Someone want to measure them up and sketch it for me, I'll just get a set of urethanes machined up I reckon.

[parrot]

Mine are still at importmonster's warehouse, waiting for the arrival of the next container.

 

I'll let you know when I have them unless CDU gets back to you.

[philbey]

Yeh for sure. If you can get it sketched up I can track down a stock urethane unit that I can easily turn down to suit.

Went and picked up my various goodies today.

 

Not sure how easy it will be to get some turned up. Here is a detail shot of each end of the bush.

 

Clearly need to use your original inner and outer shells.

 

 

 

 

I'll see what I can do with some accurate measurements.
