Polyurethane Bushes
Avoneer - 4/9/07 at 08:58 PM

What are my options.

I need 8 pairs of top hats to fit my current trailing arms or new trailing arms and bushes.

My current bushes are cheap nylon and not a tight fit in my trailing arms.

Polyurethane from Superflex would cost me £60+ for the raw material.

What other options are there?

As above.

They are heavy duty as they are used on there street rods. I was told they where 60 shore but they feel stiffer than that.

Fetched mine from the shop. Quality

They use 1/2 " bolts
