Lemforder part number: 13281 01


looks like this:


Thought I looked at that bush B4 I got the Meryle bushes
Dropped the idea as the hole is off-centre, Tony at WIM said it would make a difference to the set-up when I spoke to him at the open day

It is indeed about 2mm or so off centre....not convinced it will make that much difference

tempted to try the plastic insert off centre jobs tbh. I presume the hole is further away from the plastic to make room for it?
   Car needs set up again anyway after i did the rear bushes. 2 mill per side on the front cant make much difference surely?  Provided the set up can still be achieved with the off centre hole?

will the off centre hole make pressing difficult?
Just thinking of the drifts and if they fit in the hole to allow the outside edge to line up?

Just got 2 with the plastic insert from euro car parts, had them on the shelf!
Ps thanks for the lemforder link, well handy, they knew the numbers straight away. :-)

got these today, euro car parts, their part number;618-11-0160

the green one in the pic is , i beleive, not the correct part number as it is 2 mill off center and has a fraction less rubber than the white one which is only 1 mill off center. The third is the breaked original in the wishbone obviously... ::)

I took both to give me the chance to have a measure up while they order another matching pair, and i will swap these for them tommorrow, which they are happy to do as "they are quite popular".... :y

Should add, they are as far as i can tell the correct size, when measured by with my buggered old vernia gauges by feal ... :)

OK, rear verticals next(cant multi task)presume less critical, but do you have a "stiffest" recommendation for the other pair?

going in to euro car parts tomorrow anyway.
