Rear dampers

Post by wurlitzer »

I am about to try to take off the rear dampers to check the fluid,there is a rubber bush between the arm of the damper and the arm that attaches to the body.When I rang the spares dealership they said I need 2 each side of the nut but I can’t see 2 in place only 1.Has anyone got a part number for the correct rubber bush

The bush that is at the end of the link attached to the damper arm is not replaceable - it is part of the link.

If the bush at the damper arm end is worn the whole link has to be replaced.

The replaceable bushes are at the end of the link where it attaches to the chassis leg.

See note regarding link arm chassis bushes

Poly bushes for this application are available and I would recommend their use.
