Replacing bushes on coffin arm?
- Thread starter cbr6dc
- Start date
I don't think just the bushes are easy to come by, only poly ones. Obviously Hartech have a supplier but I don't know who.
Just get poly ones. They aren't harsh at all but tighten things up nicely.
ETA - You can only renew the bushes if your balljoint is ok on the existing arms, as that is not serviceable. :thumb:

The ball joint in the coffin arm.
If that has play in it or it's knackered (same thing), then it's pointless re-bushing the rest of the arm.
Balljoint is not serviceable (replaceable) so if that's the case you need new arms.
I'm guessing you've checked this or obviously you wouldn't be looking to reuse those arms, but I was stating the obvious for anyone not familiar with what is serviceable and what isn't.
English enough that time? :tongue:

Would have been cheaper to buy a new arm after paying for a rebush on top of the price of a secondhand arm!
If I fit an aftermarket arm I need to do them in pairs as they're not always spot on apparently and one arm is a weaker arm. If I get one, there's only one to fit. New bushes was an idea because if I could get the bushes for £20 then that's half the price of an aftermarket arm on an original Porsche arm.
