Great....

<< < (2/2)

Porny:
Why mess around...

Bush takes about 40 mins to change at the most!!  
Why even risk driving around with something that could make you suddenly loose control of your disco  :shock: (well worse case, bush could fail and fall out completely)

With the trailing arm removed, use of a hammer will soon straighten out the chassis.

With something as simple, barely seems worth bodging!!

Budgie:
I'm with Ian, no point in messing around with it as you'll have to do it anyway and turning it round is 3/4 of the way to removing it anyway.

A new bush is only £4.11 from Paddocks, although I'd get a new nut for the trailing arm and 3 new nuts & bolts for the bush just to be on the safe side.  :wink:

clbarclay:
For straightening thin metal a big screw spanner done op so it clamps on the bent metal and just use it to leaver the bent part back to the right shape.

A useful technic when this isn't enough room to swing a hammer or the metal is just going to spring when the hammer hits it rather than deforming like you want it to.

CNorman:
Mine has actually torn right through, from bottom to bush and is only held on by the sides. My bush has fallen out and my component is actually ABOVE the bottom of the chassis rail!

I suppose i had better get that sorted hey!

waiting on order to come through now ...  :evil:
