Look like the right depth to be omega, but only seen solid moulded carlton ones. If they genuinely fit omega... Hmmmm.
Anyone used these? Needles to say, we know Carlton donut bushes do "NOT" fit omega.

"WE USE THESE BUSHES IN OUR OWN WORKSHOP"
I wonder what for ;D ;D ;D

The way I read that, they go at the front of the car? Description is a tad confusing 'FRONT subframe bush - Rear LH / RH'..

I think they mean front of the rear subframe but it's as clear as mud.
What was the issue with Carlton bushes in the end? Offset position of the metal insert IIRC? Could be cut down on one end and a spacer used at the other worst case?

yeah tried that, which worked.... they are also too tight a fit, so still worked out over time. Shame, car felt good while they where seated correctly, but could feel the car get loose as they worked out, usually by about 10mill.

And yes, its very poorly worded. Makes you wonder if they know a Carlton (omega a) from omega (omega b) both sometimes revered to as omega. Construction/moulding looks identical to Carlton/omega a.

Wonder if TBE could do with some rear bushes... ...not that I think it will help with its awful stability problems at the moment...

As said before i fitted senator bushes to my omega, and yes i cut the tops of the aluminium "towers"
off to make them fit, no issues at all with them falling out, they are a tighter fit then the omega ones but the car is still going with no issues nearly a year later? :y

Wonder if driving style makes a difference, as chrisgixer's Carlton ones kept falling out. He drives like a man possessed though, not Miss Daisy like you OT :P
Assume Carlton and Senny are the same bushes??

They didn't fall out as such, although I know what you mean. In effect the subframe rises up, the bushes stay put!

thinking about that, packing out the top of the subframe with another pad might help. But the Carlton ones I fitted where noticeably tighter to fit, they where not right for omega.

Possessed? Lordy... ;D
