Adam,
just came across an old post you answered about MGTF compliance bushes and wondered if you had any detailed info about how you packed out the bush movement .
thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
I made them up by hand out of what IKEA used to supply as their plastic chopping boards. The new ones will be too thin as you need it about 2mm thick... So you'll need to find something similar but here's how I made them:
1. Measure the diameter of the outside of the metal Bush surround. Cut 4 of these circles from the plastic.
2. Cut a hole around 1cm or so in the middle of each.
3. Cut one slot from centre to outside on each of the washers you've created, making them split washers.
4. Stick a pry bar under the lower arm and push down to give a small gap between the compliance Bush end and the subframe.
5. Slide one washer around the bolt that goes through the compliance Bush, between the subframe and the arm (the bits that are banging on each other). It should cover the whole compliance Bush and the metal outer part.
6. Slide another one on top, in the gap with the slot at 180 degrees to the first one.
7. Let the key bar pressure off and your done!
Hope that makes sense!
