Some rantage

I ordered some R2 bushes from MVP nearly 4 months ago and when i ordered them I figured they would be with me within a few weeks so i took my sub frame out and started taking out the old bushes. When i asked for an ETA a couple of weeks after ordering them i was told that they hadn't been made yet by R2 and would be a few more weeks. But now they can't even give me a date, but just that they will turn up.:blink: I know this isn't MVP's fault, but R2 seem pretty useless if they cant even provide a date for delivery.

 

This is all very annoying what with all the nice weather we have been having, and I only managed to do about 500 miles on it sinse the TT conversion so thats got loads of novelty value left in it.

 

I was thinking about maybe going for these powerflex bushes...

But they are missing 4 bushes that MVP do which i have already taken out.

 

GRRR!!

Do you know if powerflex did bushes for the Rear upper wishbones? They don't have them listed on their website, neither on their ebay add.

 

IIRC turbofit removed every bush then realised there was a pair missing so had to get them in from toyota, might be the ones you ae talking about.

Well the powerflex list is...

 

REAR TRAILING ARM FRONT x 2

 

REAR LINK ARM INNER x 2

 

REAR TRACK CONTROL ARM INNER x 2

 

REAR TRACK CONTROL ARM OUTER x 2

 

REAR ANTI ROLL BAR x 2

 

Their terminology is a little strange but i think they are missing the arm bush labeled 48710a, if someone can confirm this?

 

The ones i have removed are these ones here...

and MVP say that their bushes replace

 

upper arm, lower arm, and strut rod bushings (4 upper, 4 lower, 4 strut rod)

 

Have i removed the right ones?
