Hi all, after polybushing the complete front end my fastback is driving much nicer but the one thing I still need to source is a replacement polybush for the steering idler link arm.
I'm sure I saw a supplier while I was shopping before but can't find them now for the life of me.
Hopefully 1 of you guys knows where to get them.
Alternatively how straightforward is it to replace with a slave steering box?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon

Perhaps you could just get one that is the correct size/dimensions from one of the regular suppliers?

I'm assuming that is where you sourced the others from?

As for a slave box, it has been done. Gordon Jarvis has done it on his H120 and noted an improvement. You need a lhd box, if you can find one ;)

The poly bushes came from Lark speed who unfortunately don't list one for the steering I've found this www.supereflex.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=SF320-715K listed for the sunbeam tiger, alpine, rapier etc but suspect this is for the earlier cars?
The kit contains 2 bushes?
