Default bush replacement magazine article ?

hi guys

sometime ago there was a magazine article on changing front wishbone bushes
I think it was in 911 and Porsche World

there are some links to it which are now dead so was wondering if anyone has a copy of it or a scan on their hard drive ?

would be most grateful for any leads


cheers

contact Chris Walrod, on this forum.
He has taken the initiative to produce replacements in an elastomer that are superior to the original.
He'll be happy to provide installation instructions along with the bushings.

cheers

I took my arms off (easy) and brought them down to a machine shop, and had the guy there press in the new bushings. Cost was $20USD per bushing, so $80 total.

There are some good posts here on rennlist regarding removal/install of the bushes...including Chris W's and others.

How much should this cost to have a shop do it? More accurately, how much for parts and how many hours labor, since labor varies so much around the country.
