Whiteline Anti Lift Kit

[RedRobin]

^^^^
If I've understood correctly (and I may not have done!), I had compensating bushes (purple) fitted with my WALK's. As recommended by VWR.

No-one else on this forum has bothered to do this AFAIK.

They'll do you fine Neo, basically you just want similar compliance bushes.

The rear takes the majority of the battering, as the design of the front is pretty "solid" - I didn't give it much thought at the time, but there's the possible risk of premature wear on the OEM one.

If/when it fails, I'll poly the rest - you may as well do the lot now.

Right, thanks Danza... looks like a set of Whitelines front and rear is next on the list along with the Fiscon Bluetooth Plus kit... been spending too much on Leica recently though ><

RR are those Powerflex bushes?

Dunno - I'll have to ask VWR.

I've got it done on the wishbone fronts too...

BTW from what I remember, Mark from VWR told me that they are powerflex bushes...

It seems a minor thing and not absolutely necessary but simply seeing the wishbone fronts installed makes absolute sense and inspires confidence.

I tried to get mine done at the same time but they had just recently installed there last set!! lol..

Got them on order and will be doing the whole front and rear with powerflex bushes, thats what gives the VWR demo car such a nice feel on turn in..

A poxy £21 chuffing quid - I wish I'd have thought at the time and had the sense to do it, even if the OEM one turns out to be ok. GRRR.
I'm tempted to do it whilst the brakes are being fitted. ARBs are already poly'd... not sure if the rear needs it???

I need a play in VWR's car!

Bushes are cheap, its the installation which costs the money really..

[tony_danza]

Balls to it, it's only money. it'll be a good benchmark to see if/how the fronts have worn excessively in the 6 months the WALK has been on too?

I'll order some.

I doubt if you'd see much wear in only 6 months, but it'll be interesting to hear. If you did have significant visible wear after 6 months it would not look at all good for those with oem front wishbone bushes!

[tony_danza]

Hmm, it's had a bit of abuse at the 'ring and Donnington in that 6 months - so I'd say it'll be more than average wear.

They were A1 when i had the WALK fitted, so it'll just be interesting to see if/how they've worn? It's only 1/2 hours labour and a quick alignment, which I was considering anyway with the new wheels being on.

Consider it taking one for the team!
