I Damaged One Of My Castor Bushes, Anyone Got One?


Recommended Posts

Well on the weekend i has having some fun over grass tree hill, a lot of fun, came into one corner a bit hard and the front wheel dropped of into a curb and then launched the car on the other side, sounded horible. Anyway, looks like i damaged the Passenger side castor bush, she's split. BUGGGAAA.

Anyone have a rod i can buy? Or can you get a bush to press into it, like a nolothane one?

I have seen the adjustable rods but they tend not to last too long.

Can somone point me in the right direction.

yeah i found that option, you mean just the inserts or the full rose joint rods. The thing with rose joint ones, is that they tend to wear out blody quick.

any one have an old stock one they can sell?

Whiteline can/will sell you a replacement bush, not a rose joint. You can also get an adjustable setup that still uses a bush. Noltec offer the same, infact they can sell you a caster rod with it..

mine are a standard urathane type bush with an adjustable crush tube... works a charm... not had a problem and have not heard of any... have a look in the group buy section. sydneykid is probably still selling them at a good price!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
