Hi All....HELP!!!
Following the last visit to a specialist to have the cambelt done, I was told that my ARB bushes were kaput.
When visiting TradeParts, I was told that there were 2 sizes... buy both and return the wrong ones.
Sooo, today I did the job. I did the OS and found the ARB very loose in the bush, so fitted the smaller of the sizes to the bar, assuming the bush was very worn.
Only when doing the NS, I noticed a plastic sleeve between the bush and ARB which required the larger size, the sleeve however was broken in 2, so fitted the smaller bush.
Looking back at the OS, I noticed the collar was way out of position.
So, I currently have the smaller bushes mounted directly to the ARB (no sleeves). They are a snug fit and look like they should be OK.
From what I gather, my A2 slipped the net regarding the recall to replace the ARB with the metal collar version.
My question is.....what now?
Do I just leave it with the smaller bushes and no collars, and just keep an eye on it?
Do I replace the ARB with the new version and fit the bigger bushes?
How much of a ball-ache is it to remove the ARB and slip in a new one?
Thanks
