Nolathane do all the front bushes for Brumby's. More then likely your control arms will be 28mm bushes unless you have 2wd front control arms which i believe are the 24mm bushes (Also the longer L series arms are 24mm bushes).

Side note the control arm bushes can be used in the torsion bar in the rear end to. :P

Matt, the side note, do you mean the inner swing arm bush that comes off the tubular beam out at a roughly 45 degree angle to the wheels being same as?

Hi Matt

Yes, i am at the moment having this issue!! No one could tell me which size is the right ones. So the 28mm control arm bushes are the one for a 92 brumby GL?

cheers

Just a quick question...do you mean the lower control arms on an L series are longer than the Brumby? if so do they fit on a Brumby to reduce positive camber?

Sweet, cheers. So the brumby cv joints will fit onto the l series drive shaft? what did you have to modify on the ED radius rods? And in the picture of all the parts you had lower control arms, drive shaft, and the radius rods..what where the other 2 pieces?

Thanks!!!

The other 2 parts are rack ends as you need to make the rack longer. Also the L series shaft will fit on Brumby CV joint and DOJ. Wild RX you have a PM to. :)

Camber

Post by silversubiowner » Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:16 pm

Hey all,

I did not have any front wheel wear issues until I installed a 2 inch lift kit on my 94 L series (and had a wheel alignment done).

Now both front wheels have positive camber, but the outside of the front left (195/65 R14) is wearing significantly faster than the front right.

Any suggestions on how to fix this (other than removing the lift kit)?

Cheers

Your lift kit should not do this!

The strut top blocks should have an offest to stop this from happening.
Are you sure that the strut top blocks are on the right sides and on the right way (they should be marked LHF, RHF)
If these blocks are built without the offset you will need new strut top blocks, or modify the ones you have.
