Rear Radius rod bush / Z Bar Bushes

 

[chargedvx6]

Also known as front control arm outer bush. Can be changed on car whereas the inners require removal of the control arm and a press

1st pic radius rod to control arm bushes. 2nd pic inner control arm bushes need t be pressed in.

Looks like someone's been busy in there, lotsa nice new bits. Easiest way to do those bushes is to buy complete arms with new bushes and ball joints for about $200/pair. They don't look that bad though.

Any of you blokes reckon they are likely to cause a knock in the front end from weight shift at all??

 

[king_rick]

Usually a knock from shifting weight ie braking will be the radius rod to chassis bushes, a big bush at the front of the radius rod with 1 big nut and 4 small nuts, if it's cracked or looks old this is usually the problem.

I had a horrible knocking over low speed bumps caused by the inner bushes. I also wrote a how to on replacing them.

Castor Radius ROD Rear TO Control ARM Bush KIT Commodore 1978 07 VB TO VZ Holden | eBay

Even though these say rear they are actually the ones in my first picture right? theres 4 to an arm 2 at the bottom like in my pic then 2 at the top is this correct?

 

[king_rick]

they are the ones in the first pic. but they are rears, the round bar attaching to the control arm is the radius rod/z bar, this is the rear of the radius rod. And no 2 per radius rod so the link is for the full kit for both radius rods. Follow the radius rod from the control arm and you will see where it connects to the chassis via a large rubber bush with large washers, they will look like this...

These are most likely the culprits if they look like this they are probably split and hav no oil in them, this can cause a knock when braking and coming to a stop.
