cusco bushes

[akaye4000]

Fitted some metal cusco bushes in the front arms and now have a slight metallic rattle on certain bumps but not every time everything is solid.

Has anyone else have any fitted?

Tbh never heard of cusco bushes for starlets.

Where you get hold of them fella?

With regards the noise I'd presume their all greased up?

[akaye4000]

Had them ages and only just fitted them rhd sell them tho. Had rear beam ones fitted ages and dont make a noise and no not greased as they are pillowball bushes

[jayc-glanza17]

Never seen them before for starlets..

You probably first one.lol.

How they feel?

[akaye4000]

Haven't had the alignment done yet as want to sort the rattle out before shelling out twice if it needs to come apart again.

Gunna be alot better than before tho as were the original 20 year old ones lol they were shot to pieces.

Im looking forward to 7th march to take it back out on track:)

I see these before, another guy from Bournemouth ran them, had a white GT can't think of his name though, Grant will know him bought his doobie stuff from him.

Can't say I know of any issues, even though they are pillowball I would probably stick some grease around the outer edge and on the inner just to see if it cures it.

Mike b had them but never fitted them so he gave them back to me as I gave them to him in the first place as didn't want them in my last gt but the one im building atm is a track one.

I'll grease them and see what happens

Yeah thats the one Mikey had them.

I can only think of putting some grease on the outside before they are pushed in, and/or maybe on the inner of the joint where the bolt goes through.
