L322 rear bushes

jameshp38 · May 17, 2020

I replaced the rear top bushes on my l322 again yesterday they don't seem to last verry long .any way this time I thought they pushed in a lot easier than the last I did thought that was nice but when I drove it I heard a bang knew what it was streight away . Yes it popped out just wondering if any one else has had this . Just wondering about putting a quick tack on it with the welder . Any ideas as I don't realy want to replace hubs at the moment
Thanks

I’m not sure they should be able to push out when the bolt and washers are in place, I’ll have a look at rave

It was the bottom bush held in with a circlip I was thinking of.
Did it compress the rubber one side and pop out ?
This is off fullfatrr site

I think there might be a limit to how many times they can be changed before the hub becomes worn it has a tack on eather side now will need new hubs next time lol

@Henry_b You can see the force required even on those long bars, I understand now why when I go to the pub with @Saint.V8 and @tomcat59alan I hear people talking about the two good looking blokes and that big bender..

It takes some force

So does @holidaychicken but that's the way he likes it and requires rebushing.
