Default What Bushes?

What bushes do people rate?

Only need a few on my car as most is solid mounted.

Do i stick something like powerflex on? or maybe just new ford items??

Or do i go the extra bit and get nylon items done.

only need ARB Mounts Front & Rear (Inners and outers)

Also need some front suspension top mount bushes? any advantage to getting anything other than new ford items?



Cheers

Ryan

can you fit std top mount bushes with those 'very special' top mounts?

I've always found the proper Ford bushes the best... for road use that is...

Fit Escort Cossie Top mounts as there are apparently stiffer

Looking for nylon mounts for the ARBs myself. As Micheal says they apear to be a bit soft.

To go with Pauls question have you sourced any bearings yet for the 'special' top mounts

yes paul, you use standard mounting bushes on those special items

Micheal, i think i might just use standard bushes then and skip powerflex.

B9kos, no i havent mate, been a bit too busy these past few days will find out this week though, as i pick up the mounts hopefully tommorrow

so will need the bearings to install them in my car
