re the 21 stuff
renault in stirling are getting one in for me
guy says i can measure it and if it fits take it £52+vat a side
like the roller bearing idea,be nice to see some pics etc...Originally Posted by youngscottie
in theory it sounds good..
good stuff...
well the bushes and sleaves are fitted
looks like its going to be ok theres no movment/play at all
ready for fitting
can you get any more kits mate as i would like to do this to my rear beam
think mike phase 1 will be able to help you with these
From memory the one I did was a ROYAL pain in the arse to get it out as the bearing had seperated and become one with the rust - oh the joy
DG
mines were the same a sharp chisel worked a treat
Good work nice mod that. Did you find the exact size bearings then, 72 x 40 x 25?
Perhaps a bit cheeky to ask as you have gone to the effort to sort this out but just wondering if you were willing to share the part numbers and dimensions for the steel sleeves so I could get some knocked up
Aren't they supposed to have a rubber bit though to damp the vibration & flex a little under side load ??
I'm not sure if it's different with a torsion bar as I'm thinking of my old Rover where you could replace those trailing arm bushes with poly ones...
the pug 306 guys get roller bearing rear beams....so why shouldnt the gt turbo peeps?

I'm guessing one day i will need some so count me in.
peugeot/citroen ones are also rubbish, and wear into the axle destroying the bearings and beam in the process!!
Nice work Lee, you still up in Faslane?
Shakal, thanks for offering to sort a group buy out! This is a good mod, the best bushes are still 10 years old!

I am tempted to cut/re-weld the trailing arms and dial in a little some neggy camber if i take them off...
And peeps, when you re-fit your rear beam measure the wheel centres fwd to aft and also arch clearance side to side to make sure your alligned correctly

Unfortunately yes, just went in the machine shop with a drawing and got someone to knock them up. Probably one of my favourites perks of the job, that and scrounging aluminium.

I will get back with prices as in pair of bushes delivered to uk mainland addresses via 1st class recorded post.
Ok prices talk to me ? Lol
check your rear beams position.. over the 20 years of being battered about they can be sat on the pi55, a full laser alignment machine will show you if you fancy a trip out..
while its all off it makes sense to get it straight.. id bolt mine up as good as i can get it, then take it to get a full laser track and adjust the rear myself while im there..
that is if its possible, i've never felt the need to look at the rear beam enough so i could be smoking the crack pipe..

Me to for the 2nd time add me to
What's happening with these bushs being made up ?????
same here,gta be the bearing real deal!!!
forgot all about these
just to clear a few things up
the bearings and sleaves worked great for me dont know what the long term effect wil be but ive only done 4000miles in 6 years so id guess minimal in my case
for all those intreasted mike 16v said he was going to make up kits dont know if he did or not
if not a visit to your local machine shop and a quick ebay purchace all in about £45
is all it takes

Is this a done deal then?
Wanna do my bar but the bushes look too old to go back once out...Sounds soppy but was both sides catered for regarding this idea??
Dont no what's happening sill waiting for my name to be added to group buy list does and one have the oe Renault part number for theses ?????
Evening all. I can spin the shafts up if needed. I won't be able to order the bearings though. Won't be able to sneak all them past the boss. Lol. All I need is the dimensions/drawing.
So basically if the bearings are shot were all fecked then?
The bearings can be ordered a load of places really. But I would have though a local toolmakers will charge stupid prices for the shafts. I'll make them and people can order the bearing. Need the dimensions of the bearing or part number though.
right the guys
mike16v will be offering these soon so pm him if your interested
Great news
Touch.
will he be offering both bearings?
