1. REPAIRING THE FRONT TRAIN SUSPENSION.

geschrieben von Jaime GonzÃ¡lez MartÃn am 10.02.05 13:58

I`m in doubt. How can I repair the front suspension?. The Leaf springs has many peaces that had been made of rubber. Could I make them of PTFE with grafite, or PTFE with bronze, or with GF, or nylon 66, or 6.6?

In a competition garage someone told me, that he is making some parts (bushings) in aluminum, but its have an important wear rate. And this solution gives solids behaviours to race driving, but its noisy and generates rattles, in a normal use this solution doesn\´t give a nice driving, and it doesn\´t be a durable solution.

I bought a cilindrical peace of PTFE, I`m thinking in mechanicing it to build the extreme bushings, but if it would turns in a bad solution, it implies dismount, itÂ´s so hard. Who can tells to help me?

Best regards.

Hello Jaime, I donÂ´t think itÂ´s a good Idea to build these bushes - after all it is the front suspension which could fail and cause further damage. Here is one picture

for the spring sold by splendit parts.
These are probably the other ones you mean :

sold by Suselbeek.
I hope this helps.

IÂ´ve found a material that could be this PU. ItÂ´s named \"VULKOLLAN\", made by BAYER. It can be mechanicing, and itÂ´s avalible in sheets, cilinders...
