During the initial look at the underbelly of BART I noticed the radius arm bushes where shot, not seeing anything listed on the old invoices I presumed they hadn't been changed in years which is odd considering they cost very little and replacement is straight forward.
A quick order into Claire at
Eurosport UK and I had a set of replacement bushes and nylock nuts the following day. Replacement took about 45 mins. and I immediately booked the car into
Blackboots in Chesham for a 4 wheel alignment check. These guys know their onions, I've used them multiple times before, it's well worth making the journey to let them fine tune the suspension settings. Old and new:
Replacement is just a case of removing the radius arm 19mm securing nut and undoing the three bolts that hold the front support bracket to the car body. The bushes simply slide of the arm in sequence, it is important to not this sequence and also the number of shims that set the front castor, don't forget to replace them!
