Old Man Emu bushes

Can someone please confirm whether there should be a steel sleeve in the bushes through which the bolt goes.

Hi Wayne,

On the 2.7 IFS the bush in the front has a steel sleeve, on the Shackle at the rear no sleeve is needed.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for the info.
Does OME supply those sleeves or are they the same as the original toyota sleeve?

Regards
Wayne

Wayne,

I looked, it is not there as a part no. But what you can do is measure the Toyota ones and compare to these dimensions;

19 outer dia
14.1 inner dia
68mm long.

Also see if Cape town Mega do not some laying around, you never know.
