Chester Sportscars - crap quality bushes
Matthew_1 - 6/10/04 at 10:00 AM

Just bought a set of suspension bushes from Chester Sportscars, they're crap quality. Crush tube is VERY loose inside them and none of them are parallel sided (taper inwards or outwards)

Plus they charged me £10 P&P when the envelope postmark says £1.33.

I believe they're tiger distributiors so I should have known better.

Unlucky mate!

Send 'em back saying they've been sold 'not fit for purpose' and get a refund.

Don't know what you paid for them but a couple of years ago I got bushes and crush tubes from MK for around £45. (I think!).
They seem really good although car very much not on the road yet!

HTH,

Paid them a visit, a while back when I was planning what to build, thought the guy was particularly un-helpful.

I assume they are the same as all other Tiger bushes ? - Mine are absolutely fine!

I have never had any difficulty dealing with Tiger or CSC, I think it largely depends on your attitude when you approach them and also some peoples expectations........

I had a perfectly reasonable attitude when I approached them. You can't blame the customer for poor service.

So if I go into Argos and I'm really stroppy with the people there I should expect a faulty toaster should I?
Come off it...

I purchased mine from Deflex, very good quality, very helpful staff, and only £36 for twenty two sets. The only thing that I had to do was bore out the anti crush sleeves, as they come in imperial bolt sizes, but as the diference is only about .5mm no sweat. ATB Chippy
