I built that table from scratch so technically, it’s mine to do as I want! However, I have been told it needs rubbing down and refinishing before Christmas dinner! 😂
I did this about six years back. I used powerflex poly bushes and cookbot audi tt inserts. Never had a problem. I used a 6t press from eBay which which I have used many times. Please bolt down the vice if that's what you have to use. Nice video.
Hi I'm trying to insert some power flex poly bushes and having an absolute nightmare putting them in the front arms. With the press did you use any washers
Good job Andy, I do like the grey finish.......hmmmm my brain cogs are turning. Might be good to see a whole suspension set up in the same colour. Great video mate👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much Gary! Yes, I think the idea of a lighter coloured suspension is good for spotting rust. Plus it looks good when its been jetwashed! I intend on doing a full front suspension rebuild at some point.
Excellent work sir, they look really great, should keep the rust at bay for some time and very handy to have a spare set available, will do this myself.
Thanks Si! Even if someone is not comfortable fitting them, its worth picking a set and refurbing them at home. Then when you need them doing at the garage and they say "oh, we cant get them any more" you can say "Will these fine specimens do?".
HaHa! Funny enough, she was away but I built the table out of joists anyhow! So I have a bit of "licence to do what I like" on it. It needs a refinish so a few more scratches and gouges will not hurt.🤣
Nice job bet the mrs was well pleased you using the dinning table as a workbench lol 😊

I absolutely did bolt it down once I realised it was not heavy enough!😂 thanks for watching!

@@andycharger Exactly, that works for quite a few parts! doing that on some door actuators at present!
they look good mate nice one 👍
Thanks mate. They have come out well. The challenge is going to be fitting them!
well done well worth saving original parts rather than binning them, hope you didnt get told off my the other half for the paint on the kitchen table?
Thanks mate. I built the table a few years ago from joists so I have a lot of “get out of jail” cards when it comes to working on it! 😂
I bet the missus doesn't know you are doing this on the dining table😂

@@andycharger good stuff anyways enjoy your vids here from oz 👍
Thank you Darren! Much appreciated mate!
They sell the complete arm with ball joint for $60 usd. I feel like that’s better than rehabbing one
That is a good price but maybe not as satisfying as making the old arms live again! 😉
Definitely not
I think I see some blood and tears in the fresh paint work 😅
Maybe a few! lol
I cheated and bought a complete pair for around £145...😂
OEM refurbished? Thats pretty good. Mine with the blood sweat and tears are £65!
