DOG END BUSHES
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 9:09 pm
Has anyone replaced the bushes that go in the end of both Tie-Rods on the rear suspension.
I have been looking on ebay for some 2nd hand ones and cant make my mind up what to do.
I have removed the old bushes and to buy new from Cradleys I would need :-
92055 CHKM277586 RING-O,19.8X2.2 £1.78 (€2.06) x 4
42036 CHKM230168 SLEEVE,TIE ROD,UPP £7.79 (€9.04) x 2
92028 CHKM274487 BUSHING £12.06 (€13.99) x 2
making a grand total of approx. £47, this seems expensive as I could get 2nd hand ones for £20 but they may only last a few thousand miles, whereas if I buy new bushes and sleeves etc. will last for the next 10-15-20 years
To fit these is it the same as bearings - cool down bushes - heat up Tie-rod or would I need a press?
