Rubber or Poly for a Hilux?
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 12:05 am
Hey guys
All these wiz-bang suspension kits come with poly bushes and it seems that polyurethane is the way to go when it comes to upgrading the old truck...
though, a few posts around here suggest that rubber is better than poly.
I'm not modifying the suspension yet but I need to get new bushes for the IFS front end of my hilux, and then the rest of the suspension/body mount bushes on the truck at a later date.
So is poly or rubber the way to go? why is one better than the other? (cheaper, greasable, long-lasting poly bushes do sound tempting!) and where to get them in Melbourne?
thanks
