Hi Guys,
would i need to use an adhesive like araldite to fit bushes into suspension bars, looks like they will be a very tight fit on there own. the instructions say to use adhesive, but im not sure what type to use

hello David,
use loctite 638, which is a high strength retainer for bearings and bushes, although the bushes are a tight fit in the suspension bars you don't want them to turn in the bar wearing that away, and you don't want the bushes moving out of the bars either so that they could foul the suspension arms or pop out inside the hull.
cheers, chris.

PS, if you need to buy any loctite send me an e-mail, i have some cheap.

Hi David
I used loctite 638 as well just a small smear in the
hole in the bar to wet the surface and then push the
bushes home true and square real quick
before it goes off and sets.
