Carbon pivot for outer wishbone

This front outer wishbone bushing is supplied by Serpent for use on SRX8GTR EC GP kits and fits into the upper wishbone outer bore where it interfaces with the hub carrier. It performs as the pivoting insert carrying lateral and vertical loads at the wheel end.

Use the carbon option when replacing aged molded inserts or when pursuing a tougher, less compliant pivot to reduce wear and keep consistent suspension geometry over time. The carbon fibre material alters stiffness and will influence how the car responds under load.

Installation guidance: check compatibility with your SRX8GTR EC GP kit drawings, remove the hub to access the outer arm bore, press the bushing in until flush, and refit using the kit fasteners and any original shims. Verify steering movement and minimal play before track use.

Tuning notes: fitting a carbon outer bushing typically reduces flex at the joint, which can affect turn-in and roll centre interaction. Make measured setup adjustments and evaluate performance across several runs to assess tyre bite and mid-corner balance.

Carbon fibre offers improved stiffness and resistance to deformation under load, which can lengthen service life versus softer moulded inserts. Inspect periodically for surface damage after heavy use.
No specialised maintenance is required beyond routine inspection. Clean mounting bores before fitting and check for secure seating after every few sessions.
When installed correctly, carbon bushings do not inherently damage mating parts. Ensure proper seating and use original fastener torque to avoid uneven loads that could accelerate wear.
