I need to replace the rear wheel bearings, so "while I am in there" I will also tackle the bushings.
Rubber looks to be the OEM choice but is hard to find with the exception of the elephant racing kit that includes the shafts and install tools. $300+ I used the Elephant bushings on the front. I found poly-graphite to be the least expensive < $20 for a set of 4 bushings only With Delrin as the middle of the road choice. @ $50 for a set of 4 bushings only So what is the +/- of each material? Can you throw a few vendors out there? My car is a daily driver? Clark |
