|
|
Hello - I have noticed quite big cracks in the lower suspension arm bushes (original rubber) and so am planning to replace them. Thinking to do the upper ones at the same time. I was thinking to use the Nolathane Roughtrax bushes but I have read that some people think it’s best to use rubber on the uppers and poly on the lowers. My truck is standard height and used mostly on road and some light off road. I think the current ride quality is really good and wouldn’t want the ride to become harsh.
What are your views and experiences about suspension bush choice?
Thanks |

Use genuine parts if possible, they will last much longer than copies. _________________ It's Not a Bl**dy Jeep it's a Landcruiser

Thanks for your advice. I have all the service/maintenance history for my truck and so I know the bushes are the originals. So, to your point, they have lasted 20 years! |

I did my 100 series a couple of years ago, and used original where possible, although some were no longer available, so I think I used rubber made by Febi. _________________ It's Not a Bl**dy Jeep it's a Landcruiser
