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!

WogsRus if your still comming up this weekend, the place where im meeting you sells Justjap castor rods

How much for the JustJap castor rods, they are rosejoint ones yeah. If so they are iligal to be used on public roads.

Nah the witeline kit is $125 for two bushes.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
