Problem is no ones got stock due to the holidays. Repco said 2-3 weeks? WTF?

Tried Fulcrum direct?

DONT FIT!

Inner ones do but the outer diameter of the outside bush should be 40mm. Nolathane has an outside diameter of 36mm and the superpros has an outside bush diameter of 31.*mm?? So that outer spacer that goes past the flange diameter by 2mm?? So that means the spacer is 4mm thick???

Superpro outside bush diameter 31.1. Its required to be 40mm. So the spacer is 4.45mm thick?? Surely not?

WTF? GR same as GPX?

These ones will fit I reckon

Last time I tried they weren't even answering their phone.

I should have left the bushes stuffed until trading gets back to normal, been a pain really.

Which are these??

Spoke to them today, they said the outsell diameter of their kit isn't 40mm its 36!

How you guys getting them fitted? Went through this whole thread and no one has tried them?

Called Mitsubishi ordered OE spec ones with the ball joint in them and they will have it for me tomorrow morning. Outers were $28 each, inner $17.

All done! Thank god!

Aww sucks u can't have poly!

No and I still don't understand how people got the Superpro kit to fit as the size it wrong. Inner and outer bushes are different sizes so either way even if one fit the other wouldn't.

If I knew the OE were so easily to come by I would have bought them straight away.

The OE bushes aren't just bushes anyway they are sperical bearing bush which enables the crush tube to twist on weird angles.

The Superpro and Nolathane kits are shackle bushes just like that on trailers and leaf springs.

Yeah that's the other ones. You gotta buy 2 different kits for the rear arms.

Its all the same as a CE Lancer if you check their listing for it: http://www.superpro.com.au/find-superpr ... 47-98-1354

The reason you get 4 of this bush:



Is because it's Superpro's equivalent of the Mitsubishi's ball joint bush you have pictured above (4113A062), they're 1 used per lower control arm, but you also need 1 for the top of the longer dog bone link - the one that has the camber adjuster bolts.

Thanks bennoz for the clarification, because your previous advise of the 1573K kit fitting on the control arms just confused the f**k out of me!

Cost me $90 all up!

What's wrong with these pics

Holy f**k they twisted a bit!!!

Bushes the wrong way round

Going for positive camber were we?

What's the positive castor bushes part no again?

Nope, they both turned first session on track at bathurst

Had to run the whole weekend with them like this

Brand new bushes as I noticed at WP a few weeks back the wheel alignment was suddenly out on the front, and the right hand bush (2 years old) had turned. When I pulled em out to swap them for the new ones I noticed the nipple on the left hand bush was about to fail also. Anyway long story short, they're being replaced by non offset poly bushes this weekend.

U don't want to know, based on my experience I'd avoid them.

Facelift control arms FTW!
