Fitting Polybushes!
So, having spent my hard earned pennies on a set of polybushes for the plastic car, I've got around to fitting them. Getting the old rubber ones
out was fun but no too troublesome. But fitting the new ones!! WTF??
The inner track control arm bushes push in great and the inner tube slides in fine with a bit of help from a piece of threaded rod, two nuts and two
washers but as soon as I undo the nuts, the bushes pop out!! They don't slither out quickly, but too quick for me to get the feckers installed!!
What's the secret? Would boiling them help??

Is the inside of the TCA tapered in some way?
Can't think why else they'd be forced out.
You could try bonding them into the TCA - they're not meant to rotate in the arm anywayso as long as you didn't inadvertantly bond the
crush tube as well it would work fine.

The inner TCA bushes are in two parts that push in from either side and then the sleeve is pushed in afterwards. The hole is tapered to each side.

I usually find that technique beneficial, to the psyche if not the vehicle in question
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
