Outer wishbone carbon bushing overview

Made by Serpent for SRX8GTR EC GP kits, this front outer wishbone bushing installs into the outer end of the upper wishbone where it meets the hub carrier. It serves as the pivot insert that bears lateral and vertical loads in the front suspension layout.

Choose a carbon insert when you want a lighter, stiffer pivot to sharpen the car's response and reduce unwanted compliance at the wheel. The carbon construction directly affects pivot stiffness and can change steering onset and balance mid-corner.

Fitting procedure: verify part fitment with SRX8GTR EC GP kit documentation, remove the wheel hub to expose the outer arm bore, press the bushing into place until flush, then reassemble using the original hardware and shims. After installation, check for freeplay and confirm accurate steering geometry.

Tuning impact: replacing a softer insert with a carbon bushing will decrease local compliance and can quicken turn-in while modifying roll behaviour. Implement gradual setup changes and perform controlled tests to dial in toe, camber, and damping to suit the new pivot stiffness.

Start with small toe and damping tweaks; reduced compliance often benefits from slightly increased front damping and minor toe-out adjustments to restore steering bite. Test each change over a few laps.
Yes. By stiffening the outer pivot, the effective roll centre and local compliance shift, which can influence camber recovery. Observe cornering behaviour and adjust anti-roll and camber as required.
Run back-to-back sessions with baseline settings, change one parameter at a time, and record lap consistency and steering response to isolate effects from the new bushing.
