Re: Vauxhall corsa b bush sizes?
Arb is generally 21.5mm but it's best to check your arb because some differ or have been changed over the years
Tie bar is 50mm with 14mm internal I think, but I don't have one to hand to be sure
Your best telling/asking the seller if they fit corsa b 1.0 so in the case that they don't you have proof that they said they would and it isn't your mistake, even if your sure it's always better to cover your ass

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

I'd just stick to the tried and tested powerflex bushes
You can probably pick up the powerflex bushes cheaper on ebay aswel but lmf are easy to deal with, any time I've bought from them anyway

I have experimented with silicone bushes on my range rover and have gone back to oem rubber. Better ride and rubber lasts well enough

Re: Vauxhall corsa b bush sizes?
Isnt the 1l arb 19mm? That numbers stuck in my head because I was looking for bushes and brackets to use on a cav RARB and those were what I ended up finding

I initially thought it was 15 or 19, think it's the sport arb is 21

Re: Vauxhall corsa b bush sizes?
I think your right with the sport because the white line was 23mm wasn't it?
I've got a 1l and the arb on that definitely isn't 15 so will be 19
It was only the 1.6 sports fitted with a rear arb standard as well wasn't it?

Just gsi at first and then they started putting them on all models, the corsa rarb isn't much use anyway tbh need the cav or whiteline to stiffen it up
