    Default Trailing arm bushes

    Im going to upgrade my trailing arm bushes for my RT142 corona. The trailing arms are the same as ra23/28's and they share the same part number bush according to the redranger website. I read somewhere on this forum that you can use KE70 bushes but the RT142/Ra23 metal sleeve. The sleeve is forced into the smaller hole to create a stiffer bush?? However, I though that ra23/28/rt142, ke70/ae86 would have used the same bush anyway?? Who has done this?

    Rod would be the man to speak to about trailing arm bushes - he's gone through a few on his Ra28.

    Just did some extensive searching (the search function is so shite) and found what I was looking for. It was what I thought, what Rod used, is Ke70 bushes with Ra23 bolt sleeves. The Ke70 uses a 12mm sleeve where the ra23 uses a 14mm sleeve.

    the bush is identical (super pro ones) but the crush tube is different (id only) the od of the tubes are the same.
