steed Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 need picture of your really before we can make an educated decision. FYI i poly bushed my OEM ARB used the fensport droplinks abut didn't use their rubber i swapped that for the 8x drop link poly from camskill and used the 2x ARB bush from camskil as well. definitely worth every penny.

Amjad Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 What do you need a picture of, the ARB or the bushes?I'm away from home so couldn't get either unfortunately I may just do what you did then! The last time I took a look at the ARB (when I fitted the Whiteline ALK) I think I remember there being 8 small bushes!Thanks for the help, I'll update this thread when it's hopefully done!

rob_bower Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yea they look about right dude there Is def 8 bushes on the droplinks and most 20mm arb bushes should fit! I've been searching for alternative bushes to do the entire car I have a spae set of lower arms and a spare front arb to clean up and polybush and poss the rear beam too before that goes on! Along with tidying up the rear arb too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 the way to check the thickness of the arb is use a spanner of the two sizes....nice thread something i defo want to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 the way to check the thickness of the arb is use a spanner of the two sizes....nice thread something i defo want to doMost bushes have the size moulded in to them in some way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd just get a spanner or some string and measure it if you take it all off to look at it with the age of the drop links they'll probably won't go back on/won't come off without a fight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You dont need to take it of it's moulded in to the side! Just get under and look and it will say 20mm!! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 far easier then.....hmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The OE drop links just have 2 bushes.I've gone with the superflex bushes as the OE ones were knackeded especially after fitting the ALK.Car's still off the road so unsure how they perform. The OE arch bushes were noticably more worn on the outside as you would imagine. I'm just going to swap them round and see how it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 there two types for the EP.....one has 8 bushes and one has just 2 iirc all EP91 models have the 8 and theres a mix of both for the EP82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezza Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Aha. I wonder why camskill didn't mention that. You'd need 2 sets of the superflex bushes in some cases then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yea that's right! I do believe the super pro do a similar kit for the mr2 with 8 bushes but it works out about the sane price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 POW! Just ordered the lot First part I've bought for the EP in aaages! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 What did you order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Everything from Fensport, worked out cheaper than getting some bits from Camskill and some from Fensport!2 x OEM Drop-links with Rubber buses1 x SuperPro Arc Bush set1 x SuperPro Spherical Bush SetI was tempted to get a Camber Adjustable Bolt Kit but that'll have to wait until another time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Im just gonna order the bushes and get the droplinks from the motorfactors seem expensive for £15 a setwhich size do i get in these tho? might aswell do the lot seen as ill be removing the armhttp://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_38/Category_2/325931 or 34mm?

Asad Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 31mm it ishttp://www.toyotagtturbo.com/dynamics/show...876&epage=5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just incase you dont see the other thread, Do the Fensport Droplinks come in a set or are they seperate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You have to purchase two, they are ADL ones so quality is second to none Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Sorry for hijack but simpliar question as topic, drop links? I think mine are foobar as i get a really bad rubber creak when turning the wheel at parking speeds, if i spray wd40 on the drop link bushes it goes for a little while. So going to replace them, do i buy:http://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_38/Category_2/3202 (just seen thanks to this thread)orhttp://www.tm-developments.com/index.php?m...products_id=498ep91 glanza v, whats the difference, why do the tmd one have a 90 degree bend with another bolt?edit: just seen the replacent bushes that camskill do, is it easy enough to just replace bushes or is it worth getting new bolt bit too, still which to choose?

Asad Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 99% sure you have the ones in the first link (turn the wheel and have a look)the tmd ones are only for the GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
