LE rear wishbone question....

by LE16 » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:23 pm

Does anyone know if these have the concentric bushes?

I used my old subfram/arms from the LE on my SE5 and now have uneven tyre wear!

Patience is a virtue

the SE5 and LE (and I think DTM) had the rear arms fitted with irmscher bushes on them since they came lowered by 25mm

you can no longer get these bushes, and if still fitted they are more likely to be well worn by now

Hmm,

Well the subframe is from the LE. I only used it to save myself the time of changing the hubs (which I did in the end anyway)!

Can't see a reason why the tires are wearing on the inside as the bushes look good (no cracks etc) I am wondering if the rear beam bushes are causing this!!

The LE did use irmscher bushes but used them in conjunction with reduced drop springs and 5mm rubber raising plates under said springs.

Powerflex make the same bush, I have them on mine. Not surprisingly I cant remember the part number off the top of my head however Gavin Wallace will know - I bought them from him.

Finally if anyone does want the irmscher item, try contacting 'richiem' - I sold him a pair and I believe he sold his LE before fitting them so might have them spare.
