newer axles fitted but radius arm brackets are wider

[windowlicker]

as title we have just fitted newer axles to a g reg 2.5 td and the radius arm brakets are wider for now we have nipped them up but its pulling the brackets in at the tops do you think this would be ok or will it wear thr bushes out at a hidious rate?

You'll need to get the wider arms fitted to later cars.  The chassis mount and length are the same.
If you don't the handling will be horrific and potentially lethal IMHO.

Good luck

You could just fit the later wider bushes to the radius arms that you have......will give a little more articulation as well ;)

or use spacers beside the bushes to pack them out

Booty-fab solution! ;) :)

Being as it's quite an important safety feature to have your axle correctly mounted... why not just look for a set of second hand radius arms - but the correct wider type??  Rather than messing around with washers etc etc.  Not exactly that expensive.

I might have a set lying around thinking about it....
