Hi i know its weird me posting in this section but here goes......
i was looking at the bushes in the rear springs under redzook's little rock ape 2day and was thinkin that i may b able 2 use them 4 a little plan i have in mind.
so my question is can some1 give me some dimensions ?? as in ID and OD and width's.
redzook informed me that there is a wide and narrow track r the bushes different ??
also where is the best place 2 get them ??? and wot sort of $$ wood i b looking at ??
The Widetrack does have a slightly wider leaf pack.
Now here goes some stuff off memory for a wide track. The ID is 16mm and the Installed width is 100mm, couldn't say the OD of them though. Thats off a very dodgey memory so don't take it as correct.
Don't have much specific info for you - this is just from my crappy memory
WideTrack & Narrow Track definitely different. Wide Track is 70mm Wide, Narrow track is 60mm ( I think ) - pretty sure they are same width as Zuk Sierra & Hilux. Both are defintely 16mm internal diameter.
The actual Spring Eye Bushes are available from Daihatsu but very pricey - from a wrecker you won't get them out of the spring - they tend to weld themselves in there You can get them from some of the Suspension mobs in Urethane. 4Ways had them ( where I got mine ) - Ultimate also had them & TJM will as well. Installed width of the Wide Track ones is around 82-84mm as this is how wide my Extended Shackles for the Wide Track Feroza are.
Hope this helps a bit......Mike H.
