M35 Caster Bush?

[ironpaw]

Apparently my car needs some stuff done for clear roadworthy in order to clear the defect notice...

1. Caster bushes - well I think they're it...the guy thought they were lower control arm bushes then changed his mind later LOL...so where's the best place to get them from? Or did I just miss out Ryan's groupbuy?

2. drive shaft - both left and right - right shaft boot is half gone, left shaft is making lots of noises. He said he'll get them done at a drive shaft shop? what's a reasonable price for this sort of stuff?

3. rear tyres - I had new Ku31's fitted in June 2011...and now he reckons they need to be replaced?! Well, he reckons they are "borderline"...there's a bit of camber wear on them but not THAT bad....hmmm

anyway see pic for the bush in question...

I have one spare set....the guy that wanted em never replied.

So if you need em PM me but they will not be at Ryan's price.......retail + shipping....cannot do mates rates as I don't own them.

oh....unless you want to do a swap of caster arms......then I can do them at the the same price as I change everyone else fitted and you just pay for shipping to and fro!

That's not it.

You want either SPF 2847K, SPF 2848K or SPF 2849K depending if you want to change your castor a little while your at it.

Cheers...$180 from Bursons...not TOO bad compared to GB price when you factor in postage...

[slippylotion]

Yeah I'd still be happy with that price. ?

If they can get the offset caster version, I'd be getting that one.

The difference in the way the car will handle absolutely beggars belief. Say goodbye to understeer in all but the most extreme conditions.

If your rear tyres are above the treadwear markers; they shouldn't be able to query it.

I'm not sure if the old "tread across70% of the tyre"rule still applies; that's how semi slick tyres with untreaded shoulders normally get through.

yeah they are above the treadwear markers...maybe its the camber wear/shoulders they're picking on? I dunno...

too late, got the standard replacement...when I see "adjustable" it = chances to fk things up...LOL

Ah well, hopefully it's not too much of a problem.

Lol, yeah; I know what you mean, they'll still be better than the worn out OEM ones, so that's a win.
