Hi All - New to the forum so be gentle!
On other forums it has been mentioned that a member of this form may have solved the problem of replacing the inner metalastic bush on the rear long trailing arms RGD000620 and RDG000630.
I have found a replacement for the outer track rod end joint, but not the inner bush. I have considered making a poly bush, but been informed that as this is a metalastic bush it need a certain amount of movement to perform correctly and a poly bush would not be able to duplicate this characteristic!
I have looked at the following link: www.the-t-bar.com/forum/54-how-tos/92498-rear-track-control-arm-tf-poly-bushing
Where the bush that was replaced on RDG000570 by this chap appears to be the same as what is on the long arm. But I cannot confirm this.
It seems a shame to pay Rimmers £170 when to refurbish them may be a lot cheaper!
Another question: I have the non-adjustable short trailing arms (RGD00057IPI on my TF and was wondering if I could back-fit to the adjustable ones (RGD000570)?
Any help on both these issues would be appreciated.
Regards
Robert
