Front control arms urethane bushing options?

Post by Peter Florance »

I'm trying to beef up the front control arms - are there any urethane bushings that will fit?
I think the outer bushing is the same part # as 2002 so I can get that bushing from Ireland Engineering. Not sure about the inner; I may order those just to see if I can modify them to fit.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

No. I have some parts from Ireland Engineering that I may be able to modify to fit. I'm waiting to purchase some thrust rods and washers so I can prototype the setup on a spare subframe that I have.
