Rear Camber Arm + Trailing Arm Bush

[dsp26]

Hi All,

Just thought i'd report in.. bought some "OEM replacements" from www.budgetparts.com.au

I purchase x2 @ ~$85 delivered and they were better than I expected... their solid filled rubber.. not solid filled urethane.. it comes as a whole assembly.

Will post pics tonight... new rubber smells like a stepped on cockroach though.. stinks!! :/

find me a big enough piece of pipe ron and you can come over to use my press
i need to find a tube big enough to do my own
afaik the tube needs to be able 79-80mm OD

dammit the only thing i can think off is do a combination of 2 things previously suggested (to accomplish completely other things )

- hammer the stock ones out
- burn or cut the rubber out
- then we'll have the oem ring remaining to press the new ones with.. what you needed it for right?

you game vin?


also i noticed the one i posted above is an exact replica of the one fatboyz posted in #37 except the one i got uses rubber instead of polyurethane.

don't really wanna fork out $80+ for a truck size ratchet piece lol

pressing the new ones in isn't the problem, it's getting the old ones out which is the mystery

[dsp26]

well theres the suggestion at post#9 to hammer em out.. but mine are so shot that the pin will just break off the rubber.

last time i had this issue with an old engine mount in another car was:

- cut the rubber out
- hacksaw the ring in 2 spots 1cm apart, making sure not to damage the mount
- hammer that piece out with scredriver
- as a result of the gap the remaining ring was easier to push out
- press the new ones in...

oh well taking a trip to bunnings soon because i need a cheater bar
will take a look to see if i can use something to press out the bushings with

[dsp26]

i already checked bunnings for piping and they got nada in that size
exhaust shops won't have 80mm either...

^^^already checked those coz i needed some 80mm pvc piping that i broke at home for the water tank route... ended up using 3in exhaust pipe and couplers to fix it

just checked the shed and garage and i got nothin....

[vinnY]

doesn't have to be round

[dsp26]

i have 3in length of 76mm/3in aluminium and possibly a steel item left over from my custom cai...

can probably hammer it into a slight oval to cover the required 80mm??

[vinnY]

okay so i didn't find anything at bunnings
i think the cai piping would probably be a bit thin and just crease
will have a dig around and see what i find

[dsp26]

unless you wanna come over my house and do it.. my local mech (5mins away) will do $10 for each press... so $40 each car... beats paying the $200 pedders quoted.

we just need to remove both trailing arms off one car at a time and use the free car to drive to mech
