I am in the process of installing a set of ER bushings. The instructings say and show that some alignment washers need to be installed betweend the bushing and the mount. The problem is, there is no room at all to insert the washers. Here's a pic. What is wrong?
And I know that I have the bushing installed pointing toward the camera. I just wanted to show the interference that I am seeing. This is a very snug fit... I hope that someone can shed some light on this... thanks -- brett |

Just to add to the info here, I installed the self aligning units on my IMSA car. It was a very tight fit getting the domed washers into the cross member. I had to open up one side slightly with a porta power and its spreader jaws to get them in there. I think the cross members get tighter and tighter over the years as one PO after another cranks down on them when attaching them to the car. If you leave off any washers the bolt is big enough to pinch the cross member until it fits without the washers and then you have problems down the road. The self aligning washers are a pair. One is domed one way and other is domed the other way. They do allow a good amount of misalignment to be compensated for. John |
