Hey guys, these things are becoming hard to find!
does anyone know the size dimensions of the tie rod bushes?

both of my pandas could do with new ones.

Thanks

would fiat X1/9 bushes fit the panda?

internal diameter (mm) | 17
outside diameter (mm) | 43
Width (mm) | 20

You already have correct measurements of the bushes John, but I'll post it anyway, new bushes have different shape than used, on the picture new set vs. "new after 3 years in my 4x4", they are compressed and deformed, but still perfectly ok to use, but not to take measurements from

i was looking at these.. if i could cut them down and "drill" the middle hole out bigger...

they are
internal diameter (mm) | 15
outside diameter (mm) | 57
Width (mm) | 25

For the sake of a few quid it seems silly to start messing round with other bushes which do not share any of the correct dimensions.

£20 for a full set of correct ones sounds reasonable to me, especially when it's the only think stopping the car being on the road!

Better to keep the original somewhere safe, as the new once might not last 24 years.

That's not fair, they probably already have. Just nobody's fitted them to a car yet!

they would need a sleeve and some extra washers though, not quite a straight swap!
