Omega General Help / Rear bushes changed today
« on: 20 December 2011, 22:14:36 »
Been changing the rear bushes today to try and cure wandering..
This is the drivers side bush, notice solid rubber in the bush is aligned with the arm.
The bush has come away from the metal sleeve.
Passengers side bush, again the solid part of the bush is aligned with the arm
Bit of a mess but there out. The other bush has also become separated from the metal sleeve.
And has it made any difference ? To be honest I'm not 100% sure it has, I still get slight movement at the back when going over ruts and grooves in the road. But I have also recently changed the front wishbones and as yet haven't had the geo done. I've only driven it a for about 20miles just to check it out and probably won't drive it much till I get it checked out. It is better than before but probably I was expecting perfection..
Another question which way should the bushes be aligned, as seen in the pics they are about 45deg out from the way mentioned in the guide. So who's correct ?
