I may have a cunning plan!!

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

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
