Where is the best place to get these from.. the elusive knocking in the shiny metal ass (yeah so, im into futurama now) of the FTO has started up.

Where can you get standard bushes from, and where can you get poly bushes from.. anyone know? im preferrably after poly ones.

Also, anyone know pricing...

Hi Mark.

Mal C replaced mine... ordered them from RalliArt over East. They were the standard material. Almost 2 years ago now. I still have no complaints in the handling department! Smile

I recall Mal was pretty cautious about the idea of putting in extra-hard bushes - probably some unpleasant harshness issues had arisen when doing this in the past.

It probably depends on which bits get replaced with rock-solid material... Some bits won't transmit excessive NVH, others will. Pick and choose, I guess. Smile

Mine has been doing this for awhile now. Sounds like the rear end is going to drop off. Rolling Eyes

I asked Mal C about this a month ago, I don't remember the exact price but it was a couple of hundred bucks.

If any of you guys are going to go and get Crockenberg to do the work then lets get a little group booking or something. Might be able to get a small discount.

Zan.

Yeah, I wonder if RalliArt sell rear droplinks in budget packs of ten! Smile

That's pretty pricey. Why so darn expensive?

Oh well.. I'm getting pretty fustrated at the knocking noise so I'm going to have it done. Rolling Eyes

As soon as I get my car back. It's still at the panel beaters.. Crying or Very sad

Maybe we should do a group buy from UK and save on postage costs?
Who would be interested?

From CAMSKILL:
Rear ARB Mounting Bushes Polyurethane (pr) �11.20
Front ARB Mounting Bushes Polyurethane (pr) �11.20
Which is about AUD$33/pr
