<div class="moz-cite-prefix">PU bushes do not twist, they rotate
around the centre bolt/bush which is usually stainless steel or
galvanised steel. The latter can rust if neglected leading to
premature wear/failure.<br>
That is why lubrication (and maintainance) is necessary<br>

<div>Which reminds me of something I've wondered about: Since
the original, steel/rubber bushings were 'locked' in place and
twisted with the A-arm movement should PU/nylon bushings be
lubricated (which would defeat the purpose of having the
bushings twist with suspension travel?<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The standard PU bushes are fine.
When fitting they have to be lubricated profusely. There
should be no fear of cracking etc. They may be a bit
harsher, but new rubber bushes would be as well. The harder
varieties are more for track use and may be a bit to harsh
for everyday use.<br>
If you are afraid of cracking fit softer PU or rubber bushes
to the shock absorbers. Keep the PU bushes lubed regularly
with silicone lubricant, that will keep the squeaking and
groaning at bay.<br>
It will make the handling a bit sharper, but do not expect
miracles.<br>

<div>Hello list,<br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to hear the collective
wisdom.............on suspension bushings</div>
<div> </div>
<div>About a year ago I bought all the bushes (SuperPro
brand) to rebuild my rear suspension........I am getting
ready to install them soon...... I was also going to
order my front suspension too from (SuperPro) BUT, I
did a little reading last night ....Michael Salter's
site,etc,etc. Now I am not so sure about poly
urethane bushes verses rubber.......The SuperPro bushes
I bought already were expensive...........but its a fair
job to replace them....only to have a harse ride, sqeaks
,groans, cracked frame etc,etc, </div>
<div>When I bought the SuperPro bushes ....someone do not
remember who told me they were the best....so I bought
them</div>
<div>So what is the BEST bushes and who sells them??
will the SuperPro be alright for the rear? or not?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any help</div>
