Was thinking of going to these for shock tower mounts and front sway bar bushes.
Know little about them so need info,have heard about noise issues but the fact they are less compliant than rubber should help? Yes I have more research underway,just floating the idea @ present,thanks |

I took out the urethane bushings on Betty's car, and replaced them with a set of Elephant bushings on both the front and rear. The car used to pop and squeak, now it rides nice. No real noticeable change in handling either. Maybe if you were trying to wring the last tenth out of the car on the AX course they would be better. But for street use the Elephant bushings are, IMHO, the way to go.
I have to do the rears on my car. I took out McMark's needle bearings and put in the Elephant bushings. There are lots of roads here that are a bit rough, and the needle bearings were beating the hell out of me. I kept them for the future, maybe I will put them in a track car someday. Remember this is my $.02. YMMV. |
