....Alex at AKS can supply those - Probably cheaper (or same price) and without all the hassle of shipping from the other side of the world and wretched UK import 'duties'.

Wonder why the Superpro kit uses offset bushes - or does the Whiteline use and offset metal console and a centred bush?

Basically yes. The Whiteline console is formed in a way that means it gets the extra caster by pushing the subframe forward. As in the only way to fit their consoles it to loosen all the subframe bolts and shift it forward.
The Superpro uses the slightly offset bush to gain the anti lift and increase in caster. Where the Whiteline uses a pressed in bush and poly to poly contact, the Superpro is bonded directly to the console and uses a metal sleeve to contact to the poly. No friction issues there. I cant find a pic of their setup, but will post one up here when I can.

That explains it nicely, cheers Alex! :happy2:

The whiteline method played part in my clearance / contact problem by putting the wheel too far forward in the arch :fighting:

Hmm, thats not ideal either! Are you running pretty low Mike?
Starting to think a Whiteline kit might be worth a risk but, to be prepared to fit some standard Superpro wishbone rear bushes into the Whiteline consoles if / when the Whiteline bushes fail - would that work at all??!!
the bruce:
Yes, it'll work.
The WL bushes are also sold separately and fit the stock consoles.
So all the stock size bushes most likely will also fit the WL ALK console.
RedRobin:
.
It's probably already been posted in this thread (even by me) but I can't be arsed to trawl through 25 pages to find out:
It's a good idea, IMO and others, to replace the OEM bushes with polyurethane bushes on the other end of the wishbone when fitting Whiteline WALK. Mine are Powerflex (purple) polyurethane in this location and SuperPro elsewhere:
OEM bushes deteriorate much more rapidly than aftermarket polyurethane ones and also lose elasticity.

Got the kit this morning, thanks Alex. Off to find some bushes as well and get it booked in!
