Patrol bushes in trailing arms?

Patrol bushes in trailing arms?
A comp usual builder has told to try using patrol bushes in each end of rangie trailing arms, he recons they flex as good as high ma joints. They arms are the same length and all but the eyes are set on an angle. What do you guys think. I'm also still working on a swivelling set

Re: Patrol bushes in trailing arms?
I have never heard of any problem with the axle end bush of the rangie trailing arms. There is no way that replacing these will allow more flex.C.A.Moseley wrote:A comp usual builder has told to try using patrol bushes in each end of rangie trailing arms, he recons they flex as good as high ma joints.

The problem is the chassis end bush. Cranking the trailing arm, fitting a wedge where the bush bolts to the chassis bracket, or using bushes from LRA will fix this.
AFAIK, patrol trailing arms have a completely different set-up.
Or are you mixing up the terminology of trailing arms (rear) and radius arms (front)?
