Re:Chassis to T arm bushings

[Mike Grace <mgrace@domain.elided>]

Yes, the Cardisc shows the tool for the removal of the large rubber 
bushings on the T-arm behind which are the polyurethane washers which 
locate the T-arm laterally. The tool actually looks easy to make, if you 
have a milling machine. Since neither I, nor my local Alfa shop have the 
tool or the tool to make the tool, I cut the washer and fitted it anyway. 
It hasn't fallen out, but I think it would benefit from a hose clamp to 
make sure it doesn't fall out. My experience is that urethane washers and 
minimal play are crucial to getting a nice tight-handling car (as is the 
T-arm-to-axle bushing). It would be nice to be able to remove those 
bushings and thereby avoid cutting the washer or tack-welding the shims in 
place as the CRH and others recommend.
