AlexD333 · 14-08-2014, 09:51

What says you guys? can I bin em? will it be a real boat if I get rid of em

Cant afford to spend any more money at the moment on the custom ones on here.

Don't bin em on road mate.
You've raised your suspension now I guess so really the drop links need extending too.
That said, has the bolt part snapped or just popped and lost the rubber ?
You could try the big washer trick. So put a stainless washer each side of each bush

It does look wet doesent it.

Whats inside there? just grease or what? (noobie question alert)

Your missing a metal clip thing to hold the rubber boot onto external part of the CV. hence why grease has come out and probably water and crap gone in it if it's been like that a while.

Check it quicksharp, A zip tie will suffice to stop more crap getting in.

jims-terrano · 14-08-2014, 11:08

Steering stops need a blob of grease too

Yup spot on, the clip is missing it seems. The techs reckon they will have something kicking about, and will see if they can pump a bit of grease in at the same time. Lovely dudes

Here is the offending item. Naughty naughty rubber

makeitfit · 14-08-2014, 12:05

See if you can get some poly bush versions AND some big washers. The rubber gets mushed as it's "eaten" by the hole in the wishbone

It's also under a lot more load as the suspension is now 2" further away than it was, if you see what I mean.

I used to volunteer to go into work to help with "Stock Taking"

The best part was, if they had mixed bins of nuts and bolts, they scraped them...

cost too much to count and separate them.
So I volunteered to dispose of them... eventually...
Yep, still disposing...
They had a policy, that you couldn't take anything, unless authorised in writing by your department head. So it was all legitimate.

You just wrote the note with the items and got a signature.
Pity I didn't work for Nissan...

putting a washer above and below each rubber bush helps them last longer or even a couple above and below

Theyve already done it, they married it up to a shockie bush we have here.

its a temp fix anyway.

Im looking at milners offroading poly ones, theyre only £12, has anyone used these before?

anyone remember how much BigBunny's ones were?

elty001 · 14-08-2014, 13:16

didn't cost much to change them to rose joints once all you have sourced the parts.

Had Milners poly bushes on my last T2 & well be fitting them on this one as all of my ARB bushes are on their way out

last time I fitted poly bushes they were still in perfect condition after 2 years unlike normal drop link bushes which split after a couple of months
