Suspension bushes too hard?

I bought some lolocost suspension bushes. I have read that they are perhaps too hard.

Is this going to cause me any problems?

Thanks

It might do on the rear where there is a slight twist but the front should not be a problem.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi

I bought two sets from Lolocost (for front & rear IRS) and the ride is OK.

The problem I did have was that the tubes are cut on a "random" saw.
Everything is half a mil short, half a mil big, or a mil out of square.

The poly bushes are not much better. I/D & O/D are OK but the length of the shoulder varies.
I started off trying to match sets, but ended up facing all the components in the lathe to at least end up with a consistent dimension to make the chassis brackets to.

Time will tell as far as durability is concerned.
