TCA Bush Diameter

[thetomc]

Morning All,

Can someone tell me what the outside diameter of the TCA to ARB bush is?
I may have a cunning plan!!

Thanks,

Tom

i have got those loose arb's in my living room that you gave me, want me to measure them tonight?

[tommi_e21]

just got my flat mate to measure it and it is around 43mm, i can get exact dimensions later tonight if i cut the existing bush apart and use some calipers to measure the ID of the ARB itself

hope this helps

thanks tom.

[tommi_e21]

are you gonna tell us what your super ssecret plan is then?

Well i keep destroying these bushes on my track car. I want to have the bush diameter in the arm machined to accept a spherical bearing like this one;



These are tough as hell (you can guess what vehicles they might be used on!!!) This will act as a test for my fully custom TCA design which will be adjustable for track (camber) and will have a spherical beraing at the TCA/ARB joint.

Gonna see if ZF make one with an outside diamter that will allow my plan to work. Best go and chat to the ZF guy
