I had a close look at them at the redcliffe 4WD show last year...or was it this year. The look the goods.
Gday,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these?

I'm not too stressed about the fact it will probably stiffen the back end and reduce cross axle travel. I have a limited slip in the back and the car is mainly used for touring. I'm ideally chasing a setup which will handle corrugations better than the standard setup. These look like they'll do just that, Bearmach make a similar version but use a ball joint. They are pretty dear and I don't imagine would have as much give as a rubber bush
Thanks

Thanks weeds, they definitely look solid enough in the photos
Will post up some photos when I get them on the car

Hey mate, haven't had a chance to fit them yet. Hopefully it'll be back on the road this month

Finally got them fitted up the other day, definitely a lot stronger than the genuine articles
Handling is still the same, flex is probably a bit less but I haven't really got long travel shocks or anything like that

they are a nice looking made arm. I wonder if they use a Nissan Patrol bush at each end? One thing I dont like, and it is probably a moot point, the geometry is a touch worse due to the working lenth being shortened somewhat
Pretty sure it's a Patrol bush, they're definitely not the same as the standard diff end of the trailing arm. They do look similar to the bushes found on the A-frame but not 100% sure on that one
I was chasing strength and durability over flex so not to fussed about the geometry. It's a tourer rather than a comp truck

Jock, geometry affects all driving conditions. Maybe more so on road than off.
Like I said, probably a moot point given the short change in length. They will be fine.
Do you have to drill out the bolt holes on the axle housing to suit the bush? I have a nissan arm sitting around somewhere, and If I remember correctly the bush and arm looked like it would fit in the LR axle but needed the bolt hole taken out bigger???
