What exactly is the problem mate? Kinda hard to tell, is it the lca bushes that are the problem or the arms themselves? And what are they going into? cbf searching for threads atm.

So are the bushes too long? If so how much? Is the circumfrance right?

maybe you can see the problem now haha sorry guys.

 

and it is the rubber that is the problem they just don't seem right?

[springersrolla]

the bush comes with a crush tube, without it is useless, i would say you have the wrong part, when i ordered my superpro bushes, the crush tube and urethane was moulded as one

[ke70dave]

yeah wrong bush, take it back.

 

you want this:

that thing sais "use original shell"

 

not sure what that means.

 

but it comes with 2x bushings and 2x inner tubes.

 

you don't appear to have the inner tubes.

 

also it should be VERY tight, like....need a press to get it in and out tight.

It means you need to use an oxy torch to melt the old rubber out of the metal shell some fulcrum bushes are like that it's kinda gay but they are a good product .. If u don't have the old shell u could go and buy a nolathane or white line bush and I may have a shell as well

[Heath.]

ok! sorry.

 

 

 

i do have the inner tube i just didnt put them in for the pic... they just slot in

 

 

 

BUT!! the guy i got the arms off came round today, and he couldnt even work out the hell is up. does any one have a picture of coron LCA's they can put up? cause it is starting to look like they are the wrong arms!@!E@!#

[Heath.]

ohh and i checked that link. they are 1204214% the same. i got a mate who is a sales rep to get them for me. so i know they are the right ones hahaha

[Flaxton]

Did you read my post above you need the outer metal shell from the original bush that was is the arm and you press the super pro bush into it after u remove the old rubber with an oxy torch

oh sorry man i didnt see it hahaha but humm alirght...

 

 

 

the thing is i baught these for my car from a mate. when i got these they didnt have any sort of outa shell with, can i just use the ke70 one i will have to pull out to put the corona ones in?

[altezzaclub]

As I understand it, you don't need an outer shell with two-piece bushes like Nolathanes.

 

The originals were one-piece, consisting of an inner steel tube, an outer steel tube and 'Metalastic" rubber injected molten in between them, so the rubber has to distort to let the suspension go up and down. The outer tube was a press-fit (with a hydraulic press or a vice) into the LCA, the inner tube gripped by the bolt.

 

The Nolathane bushes I've worked with are just pushed into the LCA, usually just a smack with a hammer does it. I think the inner steel tube rotates inside the plastic when the suspension moves up & down.

 

Does that agree with what other people have seen??

 

Heath, have you got the right bushes that fit neatly??
