eccentric lolipop bushes.

Can anyone tell me exactly how much further forward, and how much further "out" the front wheels sit after fitting?

The fronts look pretty tight on rubbing the valance as it is, so I'm worried I might have clearance issues after the swap.

Thank you.

I can't say exactly but I changed mine recently. Whilst it was on the ramp with the old bushes out I estimate it moved the wheel forward 12 to 15 mm

are you using poly bushes or rubber??

if you are using the rubber m3 bushes it should not push the wheel "forward" in the wheel arch it should only move it "out" to in a way widen the track & alter the camber.

if you are using poly bushes (powerflex) then it will push the wheel forward aswell as outwards, so in essence alter both camber & caster.

can't help with how far forward it pushes the wheel as i only have the solid rubber m3 bushes, sorry.

I ever use m3 bush and it rub my front plastic cover so I remove the cover.

I think it will move 15mm

Whether it be poly bushes or a standard rubber bush. An eccentric bush will only alter castor. It won't effect toe or camber in anyway.

I should have said I am using eccentric powerflex bushes on my car.

You can see the slight shift forwards in castor here
