I have a question (or a few questions) about the rear suspension bushings currently available.
Years ago one was able to purchase HARD plastic bushings for the rear trailing arms. They squeak for years and years and grease does not seem to help much, but being hard, they last and last (noisy but long lived). Then years passed. Now it seems that everyone sells the same "PolyGraphite" bushings. In my experience, these are junk. Either the 2 sets that I have purchased (from different vendors) were defective or they are too soft and will deform without hard use. Are there hard plastic (delrin) bushings available anywhere? Who has them? It seems that everyone sells the Weltmeister Polygraphite ones. I'd jump onto the Elephant Racing Bronze bushings if they were just a bit cheaper... Roller bearings seem to be a bit of overkill for what I need/want. I don't care about noise. I care about keeping the control arms where they should be. Anyone? |
