Hi folks, I am thinking of making a thingy for changing the front suspension bushes.
Does anyone have the sizes for such a thing?
I have the Laser unit for the rears. It was advertised for the fronts too but doesnt.
ta much

For the radius arms?

You can guess who’s prices they are

If they are to fit the bushes, can you not get the measurements from the bushes themselves?

No the the tool is an internal taper that squeezes the bush so it will fit in to the hole in the arm

The first time I replaced mine I put them in hot water then squeezed them with jubilee çlips then pressed them in. The second time I used poly bushes

Dead easy as they come in two pieces.only used them at the axle end and I never noticed any ride difference.

Made an insertion tool from 1 inch Micarta. Internal bore tapers from 62 mm to 59 mm over the 1 inch depth. Then suitable press blocks to press bush through tool and into eye with 20 ton press. Easy job.
