Front end alignment - Page 2

Finished the rear brakes and turned my attention to the front end now.

The lower arm on the offside is protuding through the rear bush by more than the other side. how much should they stick out and how do I adjust them?

They aren't adjustable. You replace the bushes. It's not regarded as 'easy', but there are threads and HowTos around. Don't buy cheapo from ebay. Reliable bushes cost around £50 a pair.

Many people go for the new concentric bush by PowerFlex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV5iBDGmkR4

Bought the bushes from ECP last week and had them fitted by a local guy (did three of them on my last 75 and couldn't be bothered doing them myself lol).

Have changed the n/s rod end now and the front end feels much better. Will put it in for tracking before going away with it at the weekend.

Thanks to everyone for their input
