anyone? sourced front upper control arm bushings

[lfausty]

after market bushings that will sell a bushing for peanuts, not for 5000piece order , a hundreds dollars full kit newer yrs no ob and from australia, or control arm rebuilders. but a bushing .

would anyone have a micrometer (ok a measurement) / diagram of bushing size id od... specs .

does a mb, audi ,... another pcar 944 cayenne.... fitment .

if a parts seller is selling used the bushing prob be shot/ball joint and dont need arm ,unless good meaning beats a clunk , but a source for bushing.

Check with the big 3, 928intl, 928srus, or 928ms. As I recall 928intl was sending A arms to eastern europe for rebuilding and Carl had a kit with epoxy or something.

Bought me an a arm balljoint rebuild kitt it worked great.
I also changed the main rubber bushings. No prob doing that.
(Nb:i think that u have to look to Audi and vw products, they might just have the rubber bushings that u where searching after . )

so breaking the kit down from here? no dimensions-no matter what i look at for bushing can i relate size of pic, nor does it give dim. if this bushing is what it looks like. what bushing on any make model yr is compat. if right fitment and too long ill rough it done, mod ....= anything thatll work....

mine aarm still on so dont know looks cant get dim, will then post. --- clunk dside upper control arm 3/8in play hdlight vs steering wheel side of arm, bushing shot. inner/outer?

i dont need a -300kit nor 800- arm i have few of them. nor a core to send to rebuild. nor a aftermarket race rebuild, i need a/the bushing.

Like the plumber said, the tap on the pipe is free, its $50 for knowing where to tap. Carl and Roger both search out cheaper solutions to fix our cars, they buy parts, test them, search through catalogs etc, what we pay for isn't just the bearing, its the knowledge that it works with our cars.

right not against a kit not against a price not against the fantastic work time skill one puts in making a product sellable to more than himself for an otherwise impossible nla available part. so thankful beyond words for this .

say the kits are bought installed. and the last bushing you put in your standing over a manhole cover and drop it, is your only recourse buying a hundreds of dollars a kit again or a 20.00 bushing replacement.


if there making the kits to put together and have the shops machining the indiv pieces for it, surely one bushing to be had would be possible

is there no room for tolerance as there a small market niche 928 vs mass production, and every piece counts for the machine shop/vender charge to the customer to the cost to his customer/the 928 owner. what if the machine/machinist was dialed in wrong and screws the batch of material up at a cost/time/product to everyone.

the meet with engineers /whole ball of wax to get product, whole math formula pay/retail/profit at play.

youd have to stamp out more parts, what if you recvd a damaged/defect part. return the whole kit and have another sent, they repackage the pieces to a kit again. what if you spent hrs and hrs dissassy rusted/busted parts assy the new are 90percent done, you going to disassemble to pack the kit back up for a return, or ask for a bushing to be mailed............
