Just put thes in place tonight and the crap came floding back about how difficult they can be to fit...
(Yes the cap needs paint)
What have you guys done to aid fittment......?
I'm thinking that i will get some long bolts and slowly pull it into place?
Also the knobly one is toooo big right and i need to trim it? how much do i need to trim and how much rsistance do i want to keep?
These are anti grease or grease... the jury is a little confused.
I fitted some new rubber ones a few years ago and dont remember them being as tight as this on seems.
Not the end of the world but... any help appreciated.
Cheers
mine, no trimming, rubber grease, longer bolts to press it all into place then the normal ones, do them up in an X pattern like wheel studs & u
wond have any dramas
trim may be required because of powdercoating etc but id try to avoid it personally
X 2 for longer bolts....
Took me forever otherwise.
I've read on here ages ago that someone wound theirs on and it was so tight the suspensionwas binding...
Bushes like these just crumbled when we pulled my mates buggy apart to adjust the height so now I'll only use rubber ones.

nolathane..
superbug listing R Control arm - lower inner rear bushing 46072 Click for Product Detail 1 4 Rear swingarm IRS models
beam bugs? F Control arm - lower inner bushing 48165 Click for Product Detail 2 2
id guess & say they are the torsion bar inserts?
I checked out the nolathane 46072 bushes for IRS rear.
There are some on ebay but the seller said they dont come with the metal sleeve. bugger.
perhaps it could be worthwhile to make a note that the cant/wont supply the COMPLETE part
dear suspension manufacturers - we are still a market worth catering for, look after the little guy!!!

Lee is correct on these, the Nolathane ones don't work in the same way which the design intends. The original bushings are designed to grip to both surfaces and the rubber twists (in shear) to allow relative motion. The urethane type ones are too stiff for this so they slip on the shaft. I bought new OEM type rubber ones when I did mine.
i'd stick with rubber....the ureathane can squeek
