Hi guys
I just rebushed the lower arm and fitted it onto the subframe etc before seeing a gap between the pin and frame. On some Facebook research I was told that I need 2 bushes in each arm? I've already got one in there my question is where does the other one go? Is it a matter of both sticking out either side so it fills the gap between the pin and bar?
Any help appreciated before this novice!

Who is the best supplier to get these bushes from. Even Minispares items seem to start perishing within 2 years of purchase, and that is not even being used on the road.

Yes. There was a change in 1968. The earlier bushes fitted to a different arm, it looked the same (same forging) but the bore for the bush was a different shape. The earlier bushes also didn't have the steel sleeve.
The type in the link is the later bushes.
