Et bien, je peux te dire que ton francais est quasi-parfait.
Par contre Punch, certaines de tes phrases semble sorties tout droit d'un traducteur automatique, le francais est il ta langue maternelle?
Et puis, oui en effect, mieux vaut parler anglais pour que tout le monde comprenne et puisse t'aider.
 
Hello, excuse me :surrender:, I do not speak English, I go through a translator, be gentle with me.

I'll try to help Punch as I already read his question on a french forum.

he has an issue with his prothane a-arm bushings.
the inner bushing tube is loose on the shaft and he think his shafts might need to be replaced.

from what I remember, my Energy Suspension where tight on the shafts.


I don't have any a-arm shaft to measure, but I'm sure anyone can help him.
from his last picture, we can see his shaft is slightly under 19 millimeter (3/4")

On the STOCK rubber bushings and the poly urethane I have had on several cars, upper and lower arms, the ends of the INNER steel sleever were serrated/saw tooth on the ends, to bite into the shaft and prevent it twisting like a bearing on the shaft....letting the rubber/plastic do that....

so there is a bit of clearance in there and yes, sometimes rust, all I have ever done is clean up the rust, and bolt it all back together correctly....

that is why that end cap holding the bushing needs be bolted tightly with locktite RED on it....don't wanna EVER see it come loose....

:amazed:;)
 
Je ne suis pas sûre quelle est ta problème. Néanemois, je veux dire qu'il y un petite peu de 'clearance' entre la tube en ferre et l'axe, a cause que la bague tourne et la tube en ferre tourne aussi.

Il sembl qu'il est impossible d'ouvrir les photos.

Translation :

I'm not completly sure what the problem is. However, i want to say that there is some clearance between the iron sleeve and the axle. This is necessaire because with this bushing, everything turns over the axle.
 
fafaaahh fafafa ffafafafaaahh et lalalalaaa papalalapapafafafamamamamama :D

my French doesn't reach further than "La biere est dans le frigidaire"

So what's the diameter of the shaft supposed to be? Anybody has one to measure ??

Is only the Poly bushing loose on the shaft? Do you still have the old stock one to compare ?

Can somebody translate this to French? La biere est dans le frigidaire at my house too ... and c'est tout ... je ne parle pas francais....

Can somebody translate the above to understandable French ? Trying to find out if the shaft is worn or the new poly bushings are too large....

the online translator says:
Alors, quel est le diamètre de l'arbre censé être? Tout le monde a un pour mesurer?
Est-ce seulement la Poly douille lâche sur l'arbre? Avez-vous encore l'ancien stock de comparer?

Essayer de savoir si l'arbre est usé ou les douilles de nouveaux poly sont trop gros ....
