WTB: BG Astina 93 Control arm bushes, rear lower.

Atrox Morts · 22-07-2013, 10:48 PM

Hi all! I have been searching for some control arm bushes for my '93 BG. So i've been to a few places trying to source them, and to no avail.

After having had measured the Outer Diameter of the bushes (~60mm) I've been told that no-one makes them any more and that they would have to be custom-made. I even got a quote for ~$800 to have them custom made and installed. Lol. The suspension shop also told me that the BG came out with 2 different sizes of bushing and that mine was the 'wrong size'. Apparently BG's are meant to have a smaller (~30-40mm Outer Diameter bushing).

Either way, does anyone know of any reliable source to get these bushes for a BG?

Any help / advice would be great. Would prefer a performance orientated part to a used/oem part.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply ! However those bushes were the ones that I was told (by a recommended motorsport suspension specialist who deal through superpro) that they wouldnt fit my car, and that I needed a bigger dimension.

They actually called superpro for me and they confirmed that they had stopped making the larger bushings. I've personally checked superpro and whiteline's stock, to no avail.

I may just have to search some more
