I agree, if there is that gap then you should fit some spacing
washers, i'd use stainless steel or they will rust and wear the bushes.
Maybe Quantum changed the part or maybe it's just production tolerances.
Mine have always been a tight but possible fit.

the inner pivot bush is 51.2mm

hmm, to pinch ot not to pinch?
there is definate pinching going on here on mine, luckely ive only
fitted one side,
ill measure up the upper portion of the box and measure up the length
of the inner track bush which should give me a distance, if its
greater than 2mm ill shim it either side
cheers for the input
ill keep you posted

I've built or rebuilt 3 2+2's and none have washers there or noticably
pinched.
They have always been a very good fit on the bushes for me.

No, there aren't any spacers or washers in there normally.

hi all
the 2+2 is coming along nicely with only a few small jobs left before
I turn the key,
today was suspension bolting on day,
I remember when I stripped the car I noticed that the box section
where the inner pivot bushes for the lower arm seemed a little
"pinched" inwards, almost as if the bush was too short or the box
section was too wide between side to side.
today ive fitted up the new arm with new poly bushes and it was a sung
fit within the box section implying that this bush is the same size as
the old one but the box section still looks pinched in slightly.
should there be a spacer between both or one side of the bush?, it
looks like a 3mm shim would do it but I don't want to do something I
shouldn't.
has anyone else had such issue or noticed this?
cheers all.- Hide quoted text -
