Lotus Service Notes
These hard type mountings provide optimum steering response but will transmit more noise and require
periodic lubrication with MoS
may be ameliorated by judicious shaving of the clamping block faces.
2. Elise and Exige models built with 'Super Sport' suspension from August '06, use a yellow painted, standard
rate, 5-hole adjustable bar, sharing the chassis mounting higher position of the standard bar but using
hard plastic bushes housed in alloy clamps. Each split pivot bush incorporates a raised shoulder around
its centre in order to engage with a groove in the two part clamp, and provide lateral location of the bush.
A pip on this shoulder locates in a hole in the clamp cap to prevent rotation of the bush. No lubrication is
required. These hard bushes benefit dynamic response at some penalty to refinement.
