    Default Stiffer trailing arm bushes ?

    hey fellaz,
    Im squashing my trailing arm bushes when im on the power, theres atleast 1/2 inch of movement on all of the rear bushes. I was going to run a rose jointed rear end but as its a street car i dont want the body to come apart as its so rigid. Are there any other bushes that are harder than the other nolethane/whiteline/noltec bushes ?.

    cheers.

    I have heard of people using nylon, but thats pretty harsh. If you find a material thats right I should be able to machine them for you soon if all goes well with my lathe.

    well from what I understand there are different grades of polyurathane, from what I understand noltec use some of the softer grades. See if you can source some of the harder stuff and then chuck it on your lathe with a knife like peice of tool steel. Surely though a normal polyurathe bush is enough.?
