cazzac2222 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Right, the next Mod's on the list is to replace all ball,joint and bushes underneath the car and to just give it an overhaul really.So paul (cheshireglanza) did me a huge favour yesterday and brought me down some wishbones in trade for some NGK Sparkplug leads, Epic Bargain Top Lad Paul and Thanks Alot for doing that!!!!!So getting the Wishbones ready for powdercoat and the bushes of to be replaced with poly bushes does anyone know whether to keep the inner sleave ove the oem bush or take it off??Ive heard a few people say that taking it off wears the poly bushes and other says they've had no problems at all??Anyway here a pic of what i mean, leave as is, or take it off??

Asad Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 ive always thought you take it off? thats what i was going to do on mine........hmmmm Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Hmmmm i know a few people on here have the ALK so well see what they say when people see this thread ;) Quote
Asad Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 not had a look at my ALK for the last two years (lol) but last i remember the hole for the bush is quiet small....to the extent even if you left the sleeve on it would not fit over the bush i have a whiteline kit by the way Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Right, sorry dude i thought you was in the same boat lolIll get my kit orderd next week and then just see what its like, if it needs to come off ill grind it offIve also read that the poly bush can be pressed onto the sleave :S Quote
Asad Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 this is the guidehttp://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showwi...e+Anti+Lift+Kit Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Yeah thats the one i read mate ans on the Aus site, theres a discussion on leave the sleave on or take it off so just wanted to see what a few people on here have done ;) Quote
Amjad Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 What Asad said, I couldn't remember at first but I remember I cut the sleeve off because it was too big for the bush to fit! Te bush fits snugly anyway with it off iirc! ;) Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Could the poly bush be pressed onto the sleave so its tight fit?? Quote
Asad Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 My guess is it would still distort the shape of the bush Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Looks like ill be chopping mine off tonight then when i get home ;)Anyone else have any input on this?? Quote
Amjad Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 It fits tight anyway, I'm 90% sure we cut it off! Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 BumpLeave it on or Cut it off??Im thinking of cutting it off tonight, would just like some more input if poss??? Quote
Amjad Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Pretty sure you won't be able to fit it without cutting man Quote
cazzac2222 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Sweet, ill chop it off tonight then before i take them for powdercoating ;) Quote
Asad Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 just goes to show how many people just throw money at power first instead of correcting/improving handling firstcut it off and I'll be doing the same when I fit mine bro Quote
