Save Money! - Changing Control Arm Bushes on my Maserati Granturismo 4.2 V8 Project car - Part 14

[@misterbridger]

Another great DIY video, which will hopefully be useful when I have to do the bushes on my Quattroporte. The subframe corrosion is a bit worrying though - I'll have to look at mine more thoroughly, and maybe use plenty of ACF50 or similar around the seams.

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Thanks very much. Yes, I have no idea why the driver side was worse than the passenger side. Perhaps it spent time in Europe. ACF50 is great, but will need retreating each year, still it definitely gets in there and is easy to apply so I feel it is my best option.

Respect doing it on the floor on your knees. Enjoyed the ad break too. Your certainly getting to know your GT intimately.

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Thanks and yes, my poor knees… I do have those pads, but always forget to use them.

Another great video, I subscribed because of the Maserati content, you deserve more subscribers, excellent stuff. I hope you have much more Granturismo content 👍

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Thanks very much. The KZbin algorithm is a mean spirited tool! I have a few more bits to do to get her where I need her to be.

[@glenngaspard7565]

It's easier if you have the special tool to remove and install bushings good luck settings the new bushing

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Yes I could have done with that tool! Done a few miles on new bushes now and they seem to be fine.

Great video, I am glad my diet is doing good. Love milk and sugar in my tea, and a nice round of chocolate chip cookies. ..lol. Good way to take the bushes out, and might give it a go. So far I have just been driving the QP while the weather is good. Until the next time, cheers 🎉

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Thanks very much. Yes standard bimetallic 40mm hole saw from Toolstation or Screwfix does it really easily, just use slow speed and hold it or clamp it better than I did. Enjoy the good weather in the QP!

[@joeydoo8]

Loving the content. I have a Granturismo but not the confidence you do in as many DIY jobs. The parts are so expensive if I get it wrong. Where did you get the bushes from? I paid lots more from Scuderia

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Thanks very much, I went to Superformance, but that was just the top bushes only. It’s not confidence - more necessity!

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Forgot to add - I am a silly half-brained moron of diminished responsibility. So if you try this at home and it all goes wrong, then don’t bother taking me to court!

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Has this worked? Sat outside the toilets at 11pm in a French Marina waiting for it to upload like some kind of weirdo. People looking at me, my wearing socks with trainers are a giveaway to my origin… hopefully this is okay.

It appears you have learned your safety procedures and eating habits from my channel. Cheers

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Remember, you can’t be too safe. As for eating, no point my liver being good for 120 years if I am not getting passed 100. I think the trick is to get to the end with everything on verge of time expiry.
