Andrew Dent Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 Does any one here have the Caterham part numbers for the suspension bushes. Got rid of the old ones and am looking to replace with Powerflex. Or better still does anyone have the correct Powerflex P/Ns for a SLR. TIA Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry H Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I have never thought to change bushes. What frquency is recommended and how are the old ones removed? Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Barry, I have just changed my rear ones after 10 years of use.(except centre A frame ones which are done when needed) Some were looking a bit shot. I needed a power press to push them out. It is difficult/fiddly as you will damage the walls of the radius arms or A-frame diagonals if you are not careful.

Old Septimus Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I finally replaced my front top link bushes after 32 years and they did not seem much the worse for wear although they had acquired a slight "set" which meant that the axis of the bolt was not parallel with the outer sleeve. This was due to the malevolent influence of the anti-roll bar. My wife's kitchen blowlamp was ideal for heating up the end of the link as it provided a small concentrated flame and a good vice with 2 feet of tube on the handle pressed them out.

Barry H Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Thanks. Sounds like a job for next year or perhaps the year after!!! Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
