What size interference fit
What size interference fit
(OP)
I'm modifying a control arm to accept a certain type of rubber bushing (in an outer metal shell) How much interference fit should these type bushings have in their bore ?
Thanks
Thanks





RE: What size interference fit
It makes no odds if you squeeze it some more. So you want an interference fit that requires a fitting force somewhat in excess of the likely force on the bush. You could even go for a light push fit and loctite it in.
On the other hand if the bush has not been sized then you have to do the sizing as well and will need a heavier fit.
