Easy one I hope.What type of shackle bushes give best service life and where about do you get them eg. genuine/non genuine etc etc.Stock springs for the time but putting extended shackles in and bushes are stuffed.

from what I gather most people use the genuine rubber bushes as they are cheaper then the after market urethane and flex much better.

but urethane will last much longer. I have OME bushes (ome springs too) they have been fitted for 8 years, and are still in fair condition, christover

go to your local suzuki spare parts shop for the rubber bushes. for the aftermarket there are many places at varying prices. some online shops that might sell them suziwest, snake racing, bigballs offroad. ARB etc
