Outer Limits 4x4 Board

got everything ready to fit my ifs rears except the fixed pin bushes. just wondering what other members have used. will it be ok to buy the non genuine bush to suit the ifs leaves and just leave the tube out?? if not any suggestions......

cheers mick.

search dude. thousands of threads...try my thread for a start lol

that thread has all the info you could ever dream of for all basic and not so basic hilux mods.

You have to beat the metal sleeve and replace it with.......

You're lucky im good with cut and paste:



They are an absolute prick to get out. I ended up drilling around the outside of the sleeve and hammering the fark out of it.

Bush part number to suit IFS and original pin is Kelpro 27014K.

You're welcome.

i linished down a bit of tube i had lieing around that fitted perfectly inside the military wrap, worked a treat but by no means was it easy i think it took me over an hour to get the pair out, nor would i do it again haha.

i drilled mine out, as said by everyone else wasnt eazy!
snapped 2 drill bits (probably becuase i was angry).

i then burnt the excess out with a blow torch

GOOD LUCK

all sorted guys stopped in at pedders and they pressed them out for nothing for me they were pretty quiet. picked up the correct bushes but the are not real tight around the fixed pin though.. will just have to pump them full of grease to take up the extra play

cheers mick

I'd get the right bush's before putting them together, how loose are you talking.

Even a small amount will soon destroy the bush's and it will not handle properly.

Race play Give ya more FLEX!!

i brought the correct pins to suit ifs springs, then bashed the old pins out of the locating plate and welded the new pins into the plate. works great.

I just bought the right bush's and needed no modifying of anything, you use aftermarket poly bushs for the front eye of the ifs spring dont buy the metal outer sleeve press in ones, the ones you want come with a metal sleeve inside where the pin goes that reduces it to suit the ifs pin which is 14mm, remove the sleeve and the poly will be 18mm that is the correct pin size of your hilux. the sleeve is not moulded into the bush it comes out with easy.

beside that anything will work with right od and id diameters.

sleeve is 19mm in the pedders bushes ill have to try a different make...

Hrm, ring them up and ask them, they should push in firm, and shouldn't be loose.
