Hello George,
Pleased to see that our spiral bushes are working well.
Difficult to say how long they will last, depends on the road etc.
With regular oiling and greasing, you can get another 15,000 miles or so.
Gemmer Steering box;
----------------------------
jack up the car at the front,
undo the steering box lock nut, tighten the adjusting screw a little.
Nip it up, check the steering motion (via s-wheel) is not tight, tighten the
lock nut,
and hey presto a little slop removed,
if this does'nt work the steering box need looking at.
Regards
Melvyn

Hi,
Amongst the various parts I have bought from you over the last few years,
was your front suspension greasing kit, and full front suspension bits like
new springs etc. I replaced the bushes with your spiral grooved ones etc
15,000 miles ago. I have just serviced my Nov 1986 4/4 4 seater, and there
seems very little wear. How long would you expect these bushes to last? In
addition I believe the steering box is a Gemmer. There is some vertical play
in the steering box drop arm. How much play should there be, and can I
adjust it?
Many thanks,
George Norwood
