Serpent 601408 carbon wishbone bushing, front outer wishbone bushing for SRX8GTR EC GP kits  [SER601408]

Carbon wishbone bushing (front outer)

This is an RC-scale front outer wishbone bushing manufactured by Serpent for use on SRX8GTR EC GP kits. The part is a direct replacement accessory intended to interface with the outer end of the upper wishbone where it mounts to the hub carrier, serving the role of a load-bearing pivot insert in the front suspension layout.

Use this bushing when replacing worn molded inserts or when fitting a lighter, stiffer carbon-based option to fine-tune suspension response. The component is described as carbon fiber construction in the product name, which affects stiffness and damping feel at the wheel end and can influence turn-in characteristics and mid-corner balance on track setups.

Installation notes: validate fitment against the SRX8GTR EC GP kit mounting points, remove the wheel hub assembly to access the outer wishbone bore, press the bushing into the outer arm until flush, and reassemble using the original fasteners and alignment shims. Check freeplay and short-travel range after installation and confirm steering geometry before running.

Tuning considerations: swapping to a carbon bushing at the outer wishbone changes local compliance under lateral load, so assess toe-in and roll center behaviour after installation. Use incremental adjustments rather than wholesale setup changes, and test under controlled runs to observe effects on steering bite and rebound control.
