I don’t know what they are - black hard plastic with steel inserts - but they’ve been on the car for at least eight years with no signs of play and 5-6 race weekends a year. I take things apart very regularly to inspect - these have worked well.<div class=""><div><br class=""><div class="">On Mar 10, 2020, at 11:00 AM, Jonathan Wright via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Hello FOT,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am looking for recommendations on suspension bushings for my racecar. A little Formula VEE spun into me and took out my front right upright/trunion this weekend at willow springs, so while I'm replacing the upright assembly, I figured it would be a good time to replace the old worn suspension bushings. I have been told a number of different opinions from "poly bushings would be an improvement over your old worn out bushings" to "nylon is the only way to go" to "poly and nylon are terrible you need delrin bushings." So in my lack of experience as a vintage triumph racecar driver, I'm asking you seasoned vets your opinions on the matter and why, what you are currently running, and if you could please provide me with where I can source the bushings you recommend. Up until now, I haven't had any complaints with the handling characteristics of the car, but I know the bushings are ready for replacement. I haven't taken them out yet, so I'm not sure what is currently in there. Additionally, if you would be kind enough to spell it out for me what type of bushings you run in which locations I would appreciate it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kas's catch phrase is "never be beaten by equipment" but that Formula VEE's equipment beat me up pretty good as it was spinning across the track taking me out with him... </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks!</div><div class="">Jonathan Wright</div></div>
