I recently responded to Dave Connitt's post on using some type of hard mount on his 4A steering rack, I was against doing so on a street car. I went on to opine on my thoughts regarding the general

I simply chuck the poly mounts, front or rear, in my lathe; spin at high speed and trim them so the steel sleeve is longer than the bushing. I agree with not using all poly type mounts on a "normal"

Barry, exactly my point. But we don't all have lathes to make them correct and I don't think that's ever mentioned in the sales literature promoting them. JVV -- Original Message -- From: "barry rose

I would think poly mounts on a street car would be hideous. I guess people always think stiffer is better for the same reason they think bigger is better. A certain Freudian sense of longing perhaps?

If true, that would definitely be a problem. However on the ones I have (not yet installed), the metal tube has 'teeth' to bite into the mounting ears and keep the tube from rotating on the bolt. I

Seeing that everyone is "lining up" behind one camp, I figured that I might as well respond to this one... 1. I have been running poly rear bushing on my street TR6 for about 10 years. I have had the

I might have to change my recommendations as I agree that the new stuff has a very short life expectancy. It is difficult to explain to customers who have spent a lot of money having me restore their

FWIW, I run poly or nylatron bushings everywhere on Peyote. I'm reasonably careful about installation and making sure that the right part is turning, etc. I tear down everything yearly to crack check

I have had Poly bushings in my street TR-250 - front & rear and solid mounts for steering rack (Good Parts - not the @#$%^&* Moss mounts that split and they claim "must be something I did"). I like t

Poly diff mounts and upper suspension bushes are fabulous on a street car. They do offer some flex. The trailing arm bushes I have used collapsed over time. I also like the solid rack mounts. Bob Kra

Well, it depends upon which flavor of Polyurethane. It's available in different hardnesses, anywhere from softer than the stock rubber bushings to the "almost billet aluminum" hardness that the curre

Might be worth noting, in case anyone else wants to try this, that the castable polyurethane comes in many different hardnesses as well. As I recall, there were formulas from 40 shore (which is abou
