repco can supply rubber bushes to suit, don't think suzuki sell bushes without the arm , superpro urethane (fulcrum) from supercheap auto are softer then other urethane brands.

He used the fulcrum (super pro) bushes from super cheap and drilled holes through them to help them flex. And they work very well, No flexing drama's even without the holes drilled.
SUZUKI Remember anything else is a compromise.

did you find nelligen that the caster bushes limit flex compaired to standard bushes.

also do you chew standard bushes at the diff end?

I think they may limit flex a little , but there's urethane and there's urethane, Suzukisam (Lester) used the yellow bushes from suzisport and said there hard as rock and had trouble drilling holes in them , I drilled holes in my super pro bushes with no effort at all , soft as sh t. I haven't chewed out any bushes yet .

This mob has supa pro bushes as well as adjustable panhard rods for coillies. http://www.whiteline.com.au

but I still think all the coilly owners should ring http://www.offroadindustries.com and ask about polyflex bushes enuff enquiries and they may make em .

Just a thought
