Essex lanes

Well my day ended early cos my panhard rod bushes disintegrated! I'd only done about 200 miles on them! (The set before lasted me 600 miles) - this time I'm gonna get some poly bushes!!! Anyone else know why I'm getting thru all these panhard rod bushes???

Heat and smashing like crazy ended in my day achieving nothing but ear ache and a painful hand

Anyone else heading out laning on Sunday?
Should be a good crack with all this rain.

We will be out in ours.

Remember no polishing breaks Brian

I was hoping you'd polish my wheels after all the practice on your lorry wheels Chris.

Lol Bring it down the yard and i'll get the metal polish out!

Chris is a route planned? as i would like to meet up around midday if possible. If the route is on MM anywhere would it be possible to email to me so i can sort out where to catch up. Spare seat if anyone fancies a day out.

are they genuine bushes ? mine have been in for a around 2 years and still OK, non gen bushes can be rubbish and not last long, also use new nuts and bolts and tighten in the correct fashion/torque and all should be good. Polybushes in the panhard rod can sometimes allow grit in and wear bush/bolt/and bush seat meaning new bush will not be a tight fit.

I might pop out and check out the usual flooded areas around baddow. Dunmow is about 4ft at the moment.

Cant go wrong with genuine bushes

you keep picking laning days that I cant make !! those fords will be deep.

I'm not planning the route, it's being done by a couple of regulars at Essex Offroad.

The first set of bushes were from eBay lasted me 1000 miles second set I got from graytech and they lasted me 200 miles lol

Spoke to a few people and they said I need an adjustable panhard rod - so I've got one and made it 12mm longer

Mike says cos I've got castor correct arms fitted it's over compensating (or something)

As got correct torque settings - it's done up bloody tight!!

So far I've done 1 mile and all is ok )
