Hi all,
I have looked through the archive to find out that my lolocost black nylon bushes are indeed to hard for a 5 link rear end.
So, can anyone help me with a source for direct replacements, a bit more "complient"?
Craig posted these as the dimension:

Lolocost bush dims:
Inner Diameter of tophat = 14mm
Outer Diameter of tophat (the bit which fits into the wishbone tube) = 25mm
Outer Diameter of tophat (the bit which stays outside the wishbone tube) = 30mm
Overall height of tophat = 20.8mm
Height of bit which fits inside tube = 17mm
Height of the 'rim' of the tophat = 3.8mm
Inside Diameter of crush tube = 10mm
Thank you.

I don't think you will get any
I had this exact same prob. with lolo bushes.
In the end I used a metalastic bush with a smaller dia., then made a sleeve to take up the difference.
However, it was a couple of years ago, so something may be available now

Well I replaced my plastic ones with poly bushes and retained the crush tube. They wer not cheap though. Had them cut down to my correct size... Try www.superflex.co.uk....Guys name is Chris Witor.

yes , unfortunately the lolocost bush is unsuitable , because it doesnt have any play (nylatron) its what they use for the front spasticspension on a 2b .

think you might have to make new trailing arms/panhard rod to use the more common 25mm size

I have decided to use Pug 205 bushes.
They take a 10mm bolt and have an outside dia of 28mm.
