There was some play in the rear lower wishbone bush on the xtreme.

I eneded up having to cut the bolt on both sides as it had rusted onto the inner sleeve.

This is what slid out - I hope cracked before I was hitting it with a hammer to explain the play, else I don't know how it was giving any movement.

Any way, in case I don't get a reply from Mark at Quantum, anyone know what type of bush this is ?

Have you (or anyone else) got a build manual?

Might say in there what bush to use during the build.

unlucky for me, I have already tried that

the manual just lists Quantum own part numbers.

cheers

Shame - I thought it might define the bush for you.

My other technique is to call on a local friendly motor factor and ask - he can usually identify the part or suggest an alternative part. Probably worth taking your wishbone in as well so you can check the ID of the tube the bush has to go in.

Dont recognise it. Looks from that like the outer is in 3 sections, which would be strange. Do you have another view/angle?

measure the tube and the bush size and contact duraflex on there website or ebay, they will have them or make for you. looks like the standard seven type wishbone bush but with extra bit in the middle

cool - thanks, I've sent them a message.

just looked on ebay might have been floflex i used but they seem to do exactly the same stuff

Looks like 2 top hats with a spacer bush.
