Title: Wishbone Bushings
Post by: tmx on 09 November 2008, 18:51:13
Just changed my mv6s shockers and noticed the wishbone bushings were splitting! so have replaced the wishbones with nearly brand new ones! Thanks Jue V6

anyway noticed the front tyres have started to slightly wear more on the inner edge just wondering would this of been because of the wishbone bushes? tracking is fine!

Shoulder wear is camber, which will need reseting after doing front shocks...

Mine are worn on the inner edges and according to drury Lane my camber is OK  :-/  The tracking was a little out though ... can't remember now which way. :-?

JueV6 says no problem and glad the MV6 front legs helped lol.

He had his TD tractor wheels tracked.., was only £27 to have the front wheels adjusted after replacing the track rod end (went to Chemix as they were five mins up the road).  Back wheels didn't need doing but it was well worth paying out for as the readings were off the guage lol

Remember the limits for camber on most alignment rigs are way too wide, so if they've just checked it's in the green it could still be way out. Get them set to around 1o10' - 1o15' and just a little toe in and it should be OK.

I can't remember now what they were, and can't see it cos I'm at work (I hope it's the correct picture :-?)
