    Default Trailing arm bush options

    Got a set of stock rear trailing arms here, but wanting to stiffen them up a bit more.
    I want bushes on one end, and ball joints/rose joints on the other. I could've sworn I saw a company making press in ball joints to suit the stock arms. Take the bush out and press these in and it's now a ball jointed end.

    Any one heard of anything like this, or able to direct me to someone that sells these?

    why would you want bushes on one end and ball joints on the other? why not just have harder bushes?

    I want full rose joint but they're not very practical on sydney roads. Vibration etc would shit me up the wall. The purpose of having one rose joint end and one stiff bushed end is to stop the vibrations while still offering a stiffer 4 link.

    Going to try and get some from cusco anyways, looks like they have them in their arms. If not i'll run superpro bushes the whole way through them.

    i know what you mean, i don't think brisbane roads are much better... i think you would be best going heavy duty bushes. i just put traction brackets on my car so i had to take off the lower trailing arms and the bushes in those were hard as phuc, and i don't think i would want the rear end any stiffer.
