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.

HRZOOK , The bushe sizes are ---- chassis end 52mm OD 12mm ID x65mm wide . diff end 51.7 mm OD 12mm ID x 60mm wide. Muppet_man67 ,I used super pro with the castor adj bushes on the front, on the rear end I kept the originals. I find the super pro bushes flex ok,

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 .

thanks for that nelligan, i bought the wrong bushes i see and, no they won't fit (just been looking close with the calipers)
i'll see if i can get tthe right ones from suzuki or it might be some creative design coming...

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
