Slackening the front axle radius arm nuts last night on Izzy revealed the LH one was...showing less than optimum on the thread:

A die nut might recover that. But its asking a lot. And cost of a die nut is likely to be more than a second hand arm...

So far I have yet to find an ID on the front axle so not 100% confident of what left the factory is the same as what's now fitted.

Knowing if its a "Narrow" or "Wide" variant will help when sourcing a replacement.

Anyone got the measurements for the widths of the respective bushes?

That looks like someone has really gone to town on it! I hope mine doesn't end up looking like that when I come to change my bushes!
I have all the bushes and new bolts to do it, just need some time to get around to it as i'll be DIYing it, drilling/cutting the old bushes then chiselling them out etc

This kind of mess was referred to in the workshop as a Dewhurst effort.

Which works for anyone who can remember the chain of Master Butchers.

My local mechanic always burnt them out with the torch, then a quick go of the hacksaw to remove outer metal bit. Having a small fire and support the bit to be burnt over the flames will also do the job
