Poly rear bushes?

[Schweppy]

4 wheel alignment showed that one of my rear wheels is a few mm out.

According to the technician, this is due to knackered bushes on the rear axle.

Where can I get poly ones from?

haven't noticed poly beam bushes advertised (not that i've spent any time looking) - OE if they have to be done? or do the race cars use solid mounts or something that could be fitted?

what measurements have you been given and where did you have it done by the way? TBH, you'd be dead-lucky to find yourself with something that's exactly as it should be, geo wise

Had it done at Pro Tyre.

Car pulls to the right slightly and they said the front is perfectly straight but rear right wheel is a few mm out which is causing the pulling.

 

[Henry]

ah, right
so you've one wheel further forward than the other? have you got the printout there, as the geo terms on it will confirm where the problem is

could just fit new OE bushes if uprateable stuff isn't available (sorry, i'm distracting from your original question) - but the beams (apparently) also bend fairly easily and then there's the possibility of bent stub axles, etc

I was thinking this after our little chat the other night...

I rekon the beam is bent/twisted. I've known 4 maybe even 5 that have also had it. It seems to be a weak point on them.

How are you btw??!! *cringes*

Did cross my mind as well tbh.

The printout is at my house and im currently at my parents in the recovery position! lol

Dan - pain, so much pain!

Schwep - stick the printout up if you get chance.
