Poly Flex Bushes

Post by MARKx4 »

Has anyone used these poly flex bushes from ORI

http://www.offroadindustries.com/products4.html

What are peoples thoughts and coments on them, do they offer more flex the standard nissan joints as im thinking of them in my GQ shorty with a 3"lift. Would you have any problems running them on both ends of the arms in the rear?

im pretty sure the standard bushes will keep up with evrything you can put the 3" lift through, most people are still running them in 6"+ lifts without any dramas,

realistically i cant see them being any benefit to your set up,

i know of two people that have used the poly bushes
in a light weight sierra
thay didnt last 3 months.

i dont think you can go past genuine nissan trailing arm bush bushes.

just make sure you release your trailing arm bolt tension while fitting the new suspension. bounce all four corners of the vehicle or drive up your driveway a couple of times to settle the new suspension. then retighten the bolts after fitting is complete. (while all four wheels are on the ground)

other wise you will chew out your bushes witin weeks
that goes for any suspension work being 2wd or 4b alike
repeat the process if lowering a vehicle also

oohh & no thats not why the poly bushes didnt last

cheers daryl
