Hi guys - I know how it is commonly done including Ian’s great video. Is there a reason why not to use bushing grease instead of softsoap?
So you want the bushing NOT to move or rotate ones installed? I assume that is a reason but wanted to ask. Thanks. |

Well - tried the URO bushings and they kept deforming even after following their directions in the YouTube video. Used lots of softsoap too....

Well - tried the URO bushings and they kept deforming even after following their directions in the YouTube video. Used lots of softsoap too.... What setup are you using a hydraulic press or the threaded rod method? Are you getting a straight press force? Any cocking / tipping will work against you. Have you powdercoated your A-Arms or bushing carriers with a "thick" coating. Just a few thousands of extra coating can create a really hard press fit (as if it wasn't hard anyway!) Also check out the 914 Rubber video. Their way of boiling the busing with the carrier on it will help hold some heat in the rubber for an extended time and will allow a little more pliability. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=325834 |
