Upper wishbone bushes |
Please forgive me if I re-post on this subject but the old post had begun to drop off the radar and I feel that this is important information.
Regarding the identity and availablity of these items I have the right information at last.
The bushes are Jaguar, Bush-Wishbone part number 02MJA1462AB.
I purchased a set of four today from Jaguar in Bury St.Edmunds but they should be available anywhere. The centre steel bush it too long by 6mm and has to be shortened in a lathe.
The price was about £93 + VAT for the set of four, so not cheap but as said before these are a fairly sophisticated items that would be difficult to reproduce. They are supplied dry so the grease retaining bush has to be filled with grease upon assembly.
David Sutcliffe had the right idea with his comment regarding having the item in my hand prior to purchase. I looked on the internet and the fuzzy pictures showing the product and the variation in price made me very wary. In the event the Jaguar main dealer price was the same as the more expensive internet price, but I knew what I was looking at.
These bushes are the only ones unavailable at, for example, Clive Wheatley or Brown and Gammons so I recommend that you make a note of the part number in your records because one day you will need these items. |
