For those that want to replace OEM bushes

I have bought a litre bottle of P-80 rubber lubricant emulsion, if anyone is planning to replace their bushes and wants some I have loads

The S2 Elise service notes requires it to use it to install bushes, let me know if you need some

thanks

Sheldon

It makes a really big difference when installing the bushes

What ever happened to washing up liquid?

[stockhome]

I had read up and apparently washing up liquid can damage the bush. I also did not want to use grease or washing up liquid as it could lubricate the bush.

The bushes are designed to sit in the wishbone dry

The following is copied from Martin R suspension refresh page on the wiki

"The  inner sleeve is clamped solidly and doesn't rotate. The rotation of the  wishbones is done via wind-up of the bush, remember that the forces  exerted by the suspension are massive compared to what you can do by  hand. This is why it is very important that you fit the bushes in the  correct orientation, and why the suspension should be tightened up at  the correct ride height"

Just thought if I was going to do the best job I can, I would follow the lotus Service notes as closely as I can.
