Polybushes set

Post by Pre_luda_Chris » Sun Feb 12, 2017 7:53 pm

Has anyone ever seen these about? Can anyone vouch for these?

Is it a decent buy, I was thinking of purchasing and refurbing as I go.

I dont think thats the right set for you if you haven't got a type s mate, some of the bushes are specific to the type s, i think the radius rod ones are different due to the double ball joints on the front of the type s, ill be buying exactly that set at some point soon.

@njord impregnated with what?

@Max That's good to know I haven't dived under my SiR yet, nor the BB8 I'm just itching to get into the projects

Apparently "selected" black bushings have been impregnated with graphite to add a lubrication property, that's all it says and doesn't refer to any particular car, just in general it seems, so who knows.

Thats kinda made me have second thoughts about which colour to get, personally i was planning to paint underneath the car and all suspension components black and then use the red bushings because i thought that would look cool, but to be honest if others have used the red ones and not had any issues with squeaking then does it even matter?

Yeah the one I've found seems to have more, the larger rings for example.

Gonna have to take njord's word... But doesn't graphite have iron in it?
