All the bushes on the parts I used are molded in, if that is part of your question.

I was half through tracking the car after new tyres and the tech found the rear adjusters were seized solid and the rubber was twisting if he used force.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have searched but cannot find a thread on rear suspension overhaul or specifically rear wishbones and coffin arm replacement. I was half through tracking the car after new tyres and the tech found the rear adjusters were seized solid and the rubber was twisting if he used force. I wondered how hard it was to over haul the rear track control arms. This is still a 98 C2. Anyone done a thread on this or got any word or pictures.
Thanks
It's all relatively easy. When you say rear adjusters, what are you referring to? What problem are you trying to address?
I would upgrade the components in this order. As you go down the list it becomes less relevant which one to do first:
1. Track Tires Front and Rear (NT01 or equivalent)
2. Rear Toe Link (#13) - This one is essential to get a decent track alignment, especially if the car is lowered.
2. Coilovers (front and rear of course)
3. Sway Bars
4. Adjustable Upper control arms (#8)
5. GT3 Lower Control arm (#21)
6. Torque arm - #17 (though this will get you the least bang in the rear, but adjustables on the front have value).
I replaced some of my rear suspension. Pelican had a good description for how to. All the bushes on the parts I used are molded in, if that is part of your question.
Thanks Slakker - The tyre (tire) place was trying set up the tracking and the rear bolts - I think it was part 22 (but could have been 15) in your diagram - were seized in the bush and it was not adjusting / not possible to adjust, so it will be camber adjustment they were trying to do I assume. If I can swap the bits myself they will happily finish off the tracking and charge me once. If I get the indy to do it It will be tracked by the Indy and I will have to pay for what was done at the tyre shop so double whammy - it looks straightforward if I can get the bolts out!
#15 is an eccentric bolt with a groove in it and a washer with a point that rides in the groove. You have to loosen from the nut side. I bet he tried to loosen the bolt and bound it up with the washer. You will need to get the nut loose first and then work to get the washer lined back up.
I bet when you get it off you will find where the "tooth" in the picture below is digging a channel through the threads on the bolt instead of riding in the slot.
