superpro ALK bushes - alignment
« on: December 19, 2012, 09:09:27 am »
I now have some Superpro bushes, not the entire console, just the eccentric bushes.

What is the best orientation for them....added castor, anti lift, or aa combination of the 2?

Thanks

Really it depends on what you do most in the car. Im sure I read on the superpro website about what orientation for what type of driving a while ago when I was considering these.

Console is basically the same, but the bush is directly moulded to the console and the small insert bush is metal sleeved.

Thanks for the input guys and happy Christmas! :drinking:

Alex what is the orientation of that console in the photo and which side.

I see it looks like it is just round from being at the full left\right of centre setting.?

Looking at them from the back the left one would be at 7.30 and the right at 4.30.

There's lot of freedom to orientate them to your needs. What do you want from them?

I'd press them in with the excentic hole outwards for maximum caster.  :wink:

And the tricky bit is getting both sides the same. There are no reference marks on them!
