    Default Anyone who has done Nolathane bushes on their front control arms

    I have just finished putting in some Nolathane control arnms bushes on my VT, the problem is that i tried pressing in the rear side lower inner bush (because I didn't remove the metal insert) and have consequently damaged the bush a bit.
    I put it in anyway, it should last at least a little while.

    Since the lower inner bush kit comes with 6 bushes - 2 exclusivly for VT - VZ and 2 exclusivly for VR - VS, you are left with 2 spare (half) bushes at the end of the job.

    Does anyone who has fitted these bushes to their control arm on their VR/VS still have the VT - VZ bushes or know of someone or somehwre that does?
    I could buy a whole new kit, get the bushes out that I need and then re sell it to a VR/VS owner, but first I want to see if anyone has these bushes that I need.
    Naturally if you do I am willing to pay for postage and your time in doing this helpful deed.
    I know this should probably be posted in the wtb section, but this is a fairly worthless item by its self.

    these bushes are at the other end of the radius rod bushes aren't they?
    How much do they cost?

    if your going to buy another set, get the superpro kit. it fits better and lasts longer. the instructions in the kit you got should have told you to remove the metal bush shells????

    I'm not going to buy another set.
    The Nolathane kit does not come with instructions on how to remove the old bushes and the drawing isn't exactly specific as to whether or not the metal flange /'bush shell'. It only tells you how they should be fitted.

    So once again, if anyone has done this on their VR/VS, could I grab your leftover (2) VT - VZ bushes from the control arm inner kit.

    Bradass, I got your message and I am not looking to spend much at all on this, been spending too much on car atm and my uni semester is not over yet (not working as much).
    If anyone is willing to do it for $15 including the cost of postage in that $15, then it would be great. If you are willing to do it for free, or just the cost of postage then even better!

    I fitted Superpro bushes to the radius rid and control arm inner on my VS.
    However Superpro actually sell you just the correct parts for your job and no unecessary extras so i don't have any vt spares to give you. If you want to see photos of how to get the shell out i posted a thread on here you can search for it ..

    Because he made a post directly after I posted the question, and no quote was mentioned.
    It pays to post a quote, especially if it's not directly after the initial question .

    I think it pays to have half a clue and realize when you are hi jacking a thread and the next post has no relevance to your previous post, to naturally just assume for the sake of making a complete fool of yourself that maybe, just maybe it was a reply to the threads owners

    Note: End quote/ refference to lethalduck Start reply to jazza15 lol

    I am about to do this on VS what kit did you get and where from? If its reasonably priced i'll fix you up with parts you need mate
