    Hi

    If one of you very nice people have time read my query, I would be very grateful, it's come to 'phone a friend' time here.

    Just redoing wishbones droplinks and ARB bushes, all ok up to trying to fit new bushes, they look far too small, and when I tightened em up they dont look too clever if you know what I mean,

    They look pretty squished, and the gap at the back isn't really closed.

    Now I know this sounds daft, I mean, I figured out the top nuts on the brackets were a 18mm flatty, and everything else has gone ok. But this is the first time I've done peugeot bushes. ( odd shaped buggers )

    So I tried my best to match the flat sides, but when fitted to the ARB, they dont close over at all, not even close.

    And when I tightened the bracket up, it seemed to draw the bush round from where I had it, and it looks pretty damn squished and all.

    bushes came from usually reliable local motorfactors, they are marked 'citroen/peugeot. but the aperture in them seems small compared to the ARB.

    Can someone put me out of my misery - this should've been a quick job, MOT is tomorrow eve, and I aint even greased me pipes.

    Any ideas?

    replies gratefully recieved - off to do an airport run in a friends vehicle, then back in the workshop tonight :/

    Cheers and hope you are all well

    Jeff
