Rear Beam Bushes

Is that not the whole point to them that they give a bit of passive rear end steering?
I know it is the case with the LCR rear end

nope it is not passive steering it is uncontrolled toe change under load through a high speed corner...... which is upsetting the balance of the car. Once replaced it was stable and faster again per lap.

It has shopping car, "dont want any road noise coming into the cabin" soft as you like compliance void bushes. Hideous under load and duress.

Competition cars remove these deformable bushes as geometry is unpredictable under load.

Far better more stable car once replaced (ibiza)

And for the LCR??

How do these work in conjunction with a rear ARB? does an ARB negate the requirements to fit these to some extent?

 

[darren_mcvicar]

so we getting a group by then ?? think thats why the back end stepped out on me and through me into the barrier

 

[mintyWRX]

I may be in if I can find someone in the south west to fit.Methinks the fitment is bigger than me, my halfords tool set and my driveway...

I am talkign ibiza, as this is ibiza section.

The leon I race with has replaced his beam bushes for the same reason. We are talkign race car vs road cars, albeit race cars which have to run road tyres, and not allowed to run spherical bearings etc, so very similar setups in reality to road going

rear ARB only straps to beam, it will still twist on its bushes
