Hi all, Not usually in this section

Coil converting a lwb sierra, Custom 4 link/3link

I'm after some opinions on these and details on patrol bushes.

What bolts do patrols normally run, Fine M12?M14?

I will probably have to buy 2 kits, Anyone know of cheaper poly kits?

That's about as cheap i've seen poly bushes in the retail market. Downsides are they tend to squeak abit, and don't flex as good as the bonded rubber type ones standard nissan use. Although the difference is mainly noticeable in a radius arm link setup, moreso than a 5, 4 or 3 link wich has alot less binding by design.

Rubber will give more flex. Also when poly bushes wear they elongate the inner bore where the crush tube goes through and it ends up with too much movement.

Rubber seems to be alot dearer per bush. Im going to need at least 16 bushes. So they add up... Any one know what rubbers are worth other than ebay?

Stil after the bolt diameter. Anyone know?

Hi mate bolts are 14mm. factory bushes are best.Best ive found them for was $30 each through PATROLAPART.com.au and visit there ebay store.cheers

Hmm, Still expensive. Might have to see what my mate can get them through trade.

Timmy I have told you a few times now..... If you need any parts that you mum can't get let me know.

I am a company store not a franchise. I can sell it to you for ta price but that about as low as I can go. I have a boat load of trade in I can do cheap though...

Haha just kidding mate, I'm in the trade, currently in negotiations with my Snap On dealer for a new top and bottom box.

Just done a deal for 16 @ $20 Each!

Rear arms, Rubber/metal outer

Thanks Patrolapart

$20 per bush FTW. I now know where i will be going when i go coils on the zook.

Poly is absolute rubbish on any suspension part that has to flex,( okay on street cars ) it's like super cheap tools , buy them because they are cheap , realise you just wasted your money when their stuffed in a month or so and listen to people who actually know and wish you bought the right parts first time.
We do not waste in excess of 30k per month on genuine rubber bushes because we like to throw money away but we know from experience that poly fails extremely quick on 4wd's and warranties would cost us more than it is worth.

Do not purchase poly bushes but spend the money on genuine rubber bushes, if poly was any good why does not a single manufacturer use them on new vehicles and spare parts sales ????

So i made the right decision!
