Title: Source for injection pump throttle bushings
Post by: Quantum TD on May 17, 2011, 10:57:33 am
Anyone know an online source for IP throttle shaft bushings aside from Prothe and my local Bosch dealer. I've got a couple really bad bushings that I need to swap out.

Thanx.

I don't know of any others, but why don't you think the Prothe ones are "good enough" for this application?

They don't look like the originals, and I'm afraid they might leak.

A lot of Prothe's parts either aren't to spec, or they're dissimilar to the OEM, or they're just horrible knockoffs. Now with all things, I'm sure there are *some* parts he sells that are reliable....but with him, I hear you have to take your chances and it's hit or miss.

Just rotate them 180 degrees. If they still leak it's not like they are hard to change.
