Nolathane radius rod bushes

[Willz]

Mate i had a set on my old VX s pac

genuine holden ones are soft rubber that are fluid filled so they create a nice soft cushion etc the only problem is the rubber eventually tears and the fluid leaks out

after market ones are generally made of nolthane. no doubt uve seen ads for it in mags its red in colour. thses bushes are also not filled with fluid.

aside from the change in materials some kits have a set of washers that allow you to set up braking for either sports or comfort. well thats what i was told the 'options' were etc

hope that kinda helps

i did notice a nice increase in pedal feel and overall positive effect on braking :thumbsup:

Got a clunking noise over bumps yesterday, 3 days after having nolathane radius rod bushes put in. Jacked it up and sure enough, one of the nolathane sway bar link pin bushes had done a runner. So much for longer lasting. Got to keep some spares.

I should do mine, too.

One more thing on the 'to-do' list

It started with worn-out pads that I was supposed to replace nearly 20,000klms ago...

Just watch your link in bushes, as overtightening apparently is the cause of polyurethane failiure, so I hear
