Front lower control arm bushes.

[jackg0416]

Looking for replacements for the lower arm bushings. Seem to be different sizes? Just looking for replacements. Or even upgraded ones if it's not too much more.

Thanks

I had the same dilemma recently. 35 mm or 31.6 mm options right?

I measured the OD of the sleeve of my arms at 34 and a bit mm, so I ordered 35 mm. Powerflexstore will let you buy both if you're not sure and return the one it isn't.

Yeah although I've seen 40 point something diameters as well.
I was looking on driftworks for them and saw they supply bushes that don't require the sleeve pressing out. Too late of course but I'll try those guys you mentioned.

I haven't come across 40 mm. But the sleeve is about 1.5 mm thick so that could push it close to 40.

I had DWs in the arms on my last car, without the sleeves. I think we made a mistake, mostly because DW now say don't remove the sleeve

Unless of course they've changed since 5 or so years ago. Regardless, the DW bushes are ass dude. Spend a few quid more.

Yeah I've pressed the sleeves out now anyway so looking at the hardrace ones. Awaiting advice from whiteline seeing as they have a 20% discount on.

I’ve just bought the ones from whiteline with the 20% off also bought the driftworks ones years ago and had nothing but trouble with them not fitting correctly ended up binning them!

[jackg0416]

Can I ask which ones you went for?
