Are these donuts for omega or Carlton?
« on: 13 October 2011, 02:53:45 »
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.

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.
