Bushes (it's not what you may think)

Post by phippsy »

What do people prefer to use, I've been told both urethane bushes and plain rubber bushes are good. What are peoples opinions on this? Have also been told that rubber are better for flex. :?

I would go for the rubber ones. If your car is used in hard terrian alot, like most cars on here. They will last longer than urethane ones. And offer better flex.

from my limited experience with zooks, OEM rubber bushes are best. aftermarket poly bushes are cheap because they can be cut cheaply. but good quality rubber is harder to produce.

just be careful when u talk to suzuki 'bout the bushes... when i went thru em the dude tried to tell me i needed some special ones for the rear of the fronts (or front of rears, can't remember) that was like $80 for two bushes. local 4x4 mob sourced em for me for a decent price
