This front outer wishbone bushing is supplied by Serpent for SRX8GTR EC GP kits and fits into the outer bore of the upper wishbone where it connects to the hub carrier. It acts as the load-bearing pivot insert at the wheel end of the front suspension.
The carbon construction is used when replacing worn inserts or when a firmer pivot is required to achieve steadier steering and consistent feedback under load. Carbon fibre influences local stiffness and can alter steering onset and mid-corner balance.
To fit: check compatibility with your SRX8GTR EC GP kit layout, detach the wheel hub assembly to reach the outer arm bore, press the bushing in until flush, and refit using the kit's original fasteners and alignment shims. After installation, inspect for play and confirm steering geometry settings prior to use.
Tuning advice: installing a carbon outer bushing reduces local compliance; expect faster turn-in and adjustments to roll characteristics. Make incremental setup changes and evaluate handling over several controlled runs to find the right balance.
