I'm after one as well, in the Gold Coast/northern NSW area.
thanks.

How do the castor rod bushes fit? They look like they are flat instead of domed like the OE ones?

(Sorry to be a pain BTW, just trying to do my research)

did you use the 'cartridge type' or the '2 halves' type?

are you going to use the super pro Castor Rod bushes as well?

What kind of bushes did you use in the control arms and what is your opinion of them?

Yeah what I meant by 'crush tube' is that H shaped center which I'm guessing does the job of a round ferrule.

I think the thing to do here would be to fabricate a new triangle bracket, with a cylindrical housing to suit a readily available poly bush. Even a 2-half bush for ease of ass'y :) I think Im right in saying it just has a bolt going through it horizontally, yeah? What are the sizes of the 'crush tub...

Why these bushings? Well I figure there's no point in stiffening up suspension components if what they're mounted to is all mushy. About as much point as a 'cat back' exhaust when the pipes in front of it are smaller. Start at the top and work down or don't bother. Actually I'm not sure why the cros...

I wonder does someone have an old crossmember that can press one of these bad boys out so we can get a proper OD measurement?

Also, keen to see other sides of the 'flat' bush to see how it looks...

I want to do some measuring, but I don't have a spare, does anyone have one lying around? Actually the bushes are the same part from 2wd or 4wd so that may make it easier... reason for inquiry : I want to get measurements for "part 2" to see if we can find a poly replacement and a look at "part 3" t...
