Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys

I have to replace all the bushes in my 80 series.
Is there any particular brand that is better than the rest?

Thanks

dont know about a better brand but it is a prick of a job to do as you will have to cut or burn the old bushes out (i have done mine twice in the last 12 months)

use genuine or equivelant aftermarket rubber bushes. they last longer, flex better and give better ride comfort.

Its not so hard with a decent press. I would go rubber, just put some rubber caster correction bushes in a 100 series today.

You don't even need a decent press. a 12 tonne chinese thing will do the job. but you will need decent plates and right sized sockets to push them out.
Hint: an old 1hz timing belt pulley is the right size to punch out the radius arm-axle bushes.

Super pro poly bushes are good compared to some other poly bushes, but genuine are the best. shop around if buying genuine cause some places are a rip off.

genuine bushes are a press in bush, poly bushes aren't.

pedders suspension down where i am used their 25T press and that couldnt even push the radius arm bushes out, another guy did with his 80T press.

Our press at work is a good quality 25 tonne item, I've done heaps of cruiser and patrol radius bushes never used more than about 10-15 tonne to get them out.
