CC GSR Rear LCA bushes

[hendo]

Ok so I have pushed out the bushes on the GSR's rear LCA's and they have around a 2mm taper on them where the nolathane ones do not, any ideas? part number is 46237. I cant see how they would crush down that much.

it looks like the right kit mate. nice and tight is good if you can press them in

 

[hendo]

ok cool I will give it a crack then, cheers

Out of interest has anyone fitted them in their car? just want to check before we try to fit them as we cant return them after that. I showed the local mechanic and he wasn't to confident.

Post pics of what your doing hendo. I just did my whole rear end and have the old lca's in front of me. Might be able to help if I 'see' what your describing.

As you can see the STD bush is stepped, just not sure if the aftermarket one will crush down

it should pres in tight man

Yep. The lca's is just a piece of 'C' channel effectively. Just use a block of wood inserted inside the lca, near the bush your pressing in to stop the two halves squashing together. Should be sweet.

cool thanks for the replys

Superpro bushes have that step, so if your really worried you could buy a set from there

 

[hendo]

Cool I may do that just incase
