Bushed bushes ?

<< < (3/3)

Jimbo:
Think I'll give this a go now, another article I found on the web said to make two cuts in the outer sleeve - about 6mm apart, you then remove the 6mm wide 'sliver' of sleeve, this allows you to compress the sides of the sleeve in slightly, so it should almost drop straight out.

Do the usual online places stock OE bushes - or are they main stealer only ?

Litch:
You can make two cuts but I have always found that a single cut (which removes around 2mm of metal) is more than enough to allow the sleeve to compress and pop out.

You can get genuine bushes (main or any decent non-franchised dealer), OE (decent non-franchised dealer) or pattern (unknown quality from non-franchised dealer). Any well known on-line place should sell OE quality.
I have fitted OE in the past which can in no way be considered expensive, they have performed extremely well over the past few years and still show no signs of wear.
