Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i was wondering if anyone has made a wedged spacer to fit behind the trailing arm bush housing bolts to give it a angle that way you don't have to bend trailing arms .i know lra do angled bushes but they angle the rubber leaving more rubber on top and less rubber on top .when u want more flex this would create more rubber resistance on downward pressure

Wouldn't that limit it even more? at least the rubber has some give in it.

no u keep the same bush just on a angle

Hi defmac,

I've got the last set that LRA had, unused and not needed. Pity you didn't get this up earlier because I was in Cairns last week. PM me and we'll work something out.

cheers, DL

how much are those lra bushes? as i need to get a set lol

Hi,

$132 or $164 a pair.

See: www.lrautomotive.com.au/151.html

I've seen them and they look like good quality.

I bought the last pair of kicker plates LRA had because I'd already bought some exxy urethane bushes that had no angle on them (have 2" lift) for the big rebuild. Didn't end up using these bushes and have had serious issues with some others from the same Sydney company I did instal. (panhard in particular, then front radius arm to chassis, stuffed in less than 5k km)

To cut a long story short I ended up using my old urethane rear bushes with new crush tubes because they were in near perfect nick. They were on the thing when I bought it, probably installed in 91. I'd done 140k kms with them since 98.

They are red 2 piece and are already angled like the new LRA rubber ones. Maybe Pedders.

cheers, DL

sweet i see what i can get em for i have a 4" lift atm so need new bushes anyway
