productive day on suspension

Spent some time prepping the Pilbeam style rear wishbones today. Now freshly painted and with new Eliseparts ertacetal bushes fitted. Just awaiting two new ball joints for the rear...



Did the same with the front uppers, and got them re-fitted to the car. Opted to shim them for maximum caster straight out as will be mainly a track car, and should tend to give a more positive feel to the steering self-centering.

Note to anyone fitting the Ertacetal bushes to the front uppers. As stated in the instructions you no longer require the rubber coated snubber washer, however the instructions state the shim stack should still be 3x 1.5mm = 4.5mm

I found that two 2mm shims were a much better fit so my shim stacks totalled around 4.1mm per side.
