Failed my WOF :(

Post by Technikhaus »

Hey all,
So my FTO just failed it's WOF inspection on the rear trailing arm bushses, and the PS Belt.
Does anybody have the part numbers for the belt, and/or the part numbers for the nolothane bushes?

I did a quick search, but couldn't find the part numbers.
But it was only a quick search, as I'm in a class atm :p

Cheers,
Braydon.


edit: if I'm not mistaken, I believe MR102063 is for the standard trailing arm bushes?

Cheers Taz!
Now, lets hope I can get them locally, my car's now illegal to drive except for getting the parts.....
Damn WOFs, although I have been planning on doing the bushes anyway.
And the PS belt is slowly eating itself away, it's already down to three ribs...

The offset is to push the arms back further, essentially elongating your wheel base. Which is supposed to improve handling.

So, about $205 for new bushings and belt, $153 for the bushings and $52 for the belt.
Does that sound about right?
Just remember these are NZD...

The hole in it is offset, much like your front control arm bushes that push the lower control arm out further - similar concept.

:facepalm:

In this instance we are moving the hub assembly towards the rear of the car, not in or out. I was just using the front bush as an example for offset bushes.

You can see how it works here:

Oh wow. Needed to fix my rear trailing arm bush, might do it all together for better handling then.
Is the work labour intensive? (Thinking on costs to get it installed via a mechanic)
