    Get them directly from nolathane themselves, cut out the middle man and you always get things cheaper!!

    If you are not so keen on Nolathane, Nepean spares in Glossop, St Marys, Sydney does a rubber set for less than $120. If you can get Nolathane for $160, that's a good price also. I have been told that the Nolathane do not last any longer than rubber, just harder compound. I was just reading the info about this in the Holden service manual. After seeing Z-bar, radius rod, caster rod/bar and other names for this item, is it a bit strange that GMH calls it a "tension rod"?

    I have just recently changed the bushes in my VX SS the LS1 workshop I go to used the SuperPro Polyurethane bushes. Might pay to compare prices of the SuperPro brand against the Nolathane brand. Made a big diference to the handling of my VX SS it is a lot more positive on the road.
