    sourcing bushes

    i was wondering if anyone can suggest what sort of radius arm bushes to purchase and where to get them from?

    i have read that standard rubber ones are the go as they last longer and flex better is this the case?
    vehicle:1986 110 county
    parts being replaced:front (diff end) bushes
    im not looking for the top of the line ones but just some good cheap (yes i said good and cheap in the same sentence ) but by the time they fail ill be ready for 3 and 4 link setup and non registerablere

    regards
    mathew

    I use standard rover ones. I have bought from Les Richmond Automotive, Davis Performance, British Off Road, Mr Automotive.

    Rubber ones appear to be better.

    I run Super-Pro bushes. IME much more durable than rubber and flex just as well. See Rick130's post from a while back which shows the flex that SuperPro bushes have.

    Totally agree. SuperPro (Fulcrum) are vastly superior to other poly bushes IME (won't mention any names). Parts places like Bursons can get them in for you and you don't need a press to install.

    cheers, DL

    Super pro sound like the goods... I was told by someone that the original bushes will set me back close to $200 I then thought to myself he must have been screwed over
