Whiteline Link Pin Kit

[Mk III the HSV]

I install a new Link Pin Kit the other day and it was definitely worth the $60 ( had a knock noise when turning full lock ). It turns into corners much better ( less under-steer ) and is easier to correct if you get it wrong. I'm find myself over-steering due to the stock bushes being so worn out and need to adjust to the new whiteline bushes. My question is, have I compress the bushes enough ? I had them compress a little with the convest/concaved washer pushing into the bush itself. But when I dropped it back on its wheels it took pressure off the bottom bushes. Do I need to adjusted them ?

Don't have pics of the the bushes at ride height yet.

This is the rough ass job Fulcrum did to mine. It gets rid of the link pins altogether. Im not a huge fan of it.

That does look tacky :my: Fulcrum is a suspension specialist is Qld right.:whistling

That said, I looks like it has the same function. Just in the opposite direction. Those bushes look like they are compress about the same as mine are.:thumbsup:

Something wasn't right with either the lock nut or my installation. The lock nut came off and it all fell apart. Just turned the wheel while reversing out and went to take off and heard a loud pop. Though I just ran over something and drove off. Then there a noisy creaking sound every time the right front went over a bump. When I got I went to bed as it was late. Next day the check the front wheel and the bottom two bushes and the lock nut where gone. Luckily I went back to the incident and found the bushes and the washers lying on the road. Only had to replace the lock nut in the end.

Why did this happen ?
