Changing Bushes

[wetwetwater]

Is it nescessary to change the bushes on the suspension system after sometime ? Never change before.

What are the signs of bushings wearing out ? Stiff ride ?

By the way, its a 1994 Kancil. (Yeap! Its 10 years old. Your eyes did not fail you)

Thanks in advance! :D

try this...go at around 15 - 20 km/h....then yank your handbrake...if you're on dead bushings, you'll lock your tyres to a standstill and feel a slight forward/backward oscillation...cars on new bushings should feel more "together"

cheers

[dohcmivec]

every rubber parts on the suspension system is very important for your car's handling

 

[saru-kun]

actually....more for compliance and comfort in your ride....

thats why most race cars replace all the bushes with solid heim joints or rose joints...for more precision

cheers

not all suspension system has bushes. for example in F1 the suspension has no rubber components at all. The same goes for the F1 type suspension in the Ferrari F50 :)
