I'm about to start putting in some new bushes, but the radius rod bushes have two metal sleeves in each pack. Both are the same OD, but have different ID's. What is the go here. My Haynes Manual says nothing on the subject at all.

If I can clear this up, I can get started.

Thanks guys

Are tension/compression (T/C) rods the same as radius rods downunder? If so, then the larger ID goes towards the wheel and the smaller ID goes towards the T/C fastening nut.

If i am reading it correctly, I think the answer is that different model cars had a different diameter rod. This is what Noltec explained to me when I was purchasing/choosing my bushes from their selection.

I've just taken the Radius arm (compression rod) off and there is only one tube on there. They are Noltec bushes. I read your post in the other discussion on replacing bushes where you mentioned the two inner diameters, but nothing more was said. Now it is all apart is seems fairly clear what's going on, especially if there are two different diametre rods, but at first I couldn't see how both sleves would fit in the given area. Anyway, I'll take more piccies, put it together and add it to my other post as part 2 ot the suspension upgrade.

Cheers
