HR Control arm bushes

[wolf3881]

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem.
I am putting new control arm bushes into a rebuilt HR front end and can't get them all of them up to the required torque 60lb.
Manual says to replace with over size tried all the usual places, not available.
Does anyone know where I can get them or if and how I can repair arms?

Thanks

Hey wolf there is a special tool needed to space out the wishbone to tension it up to the right tension ........ http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-DISC-FRO ... e3a...Hope this is what you meant mate ....Fingers

Thanks fingers,
It’s not the alignment; I know the spacers/ tools (Holden special tool number) you’re talking about.
Having gone back to the manual again can anyone tell me should the bush screw fully home into the control arm, and then have a min of 60lb
or are they as some of mine have hit 60lb before getting fully home, and do I just have to screw these fully home ??
Cheers

hey mate .......what i,m talking about is a spacer tool that goes between your control arm and the front end ...not the camber/caster spacers.....it stops the control arm being pulled to the front end ..in other words there is a specified gap between the control arm and the frontend the spacer tool keeps that distance while you tension up control arm bush to 60 lb and the bush will be home flush ...you then remove the spacer tool.....Fingers 0409253202 give me a call maybe i can explain it better mate

Thanks Fingers,

That’s solved my problem,Cheers
Would you or anyone have the width of the spacers upper and lower?
As I don’t want to pay big bucks around $100 on e-bay for something I can make my self , just need the widths.

Thanks Wolf
