Re: rear lateral/control arm bushes
This is where I got mine from, probably one of the cheapest around. No need for the part number, it's already sorted out for ya.

Sorry, was at work and got busy
If you need more info. just shoot an email to Jamie (Parts manager), or give her a call. She's very helpful.

The SuperPro rear lateral link set is cheaper than those STi bushings. $89.95 for the set. http://www.boxer4racing.com/

Poly is much less durable than rubber. Depending on the place of the bushing and how it moves, a poly one will destroy itself on the inner race with normal use. Radial movement is horrible for poly bushings.
Also, you can definately make a rubber bushing that has a higher durometer than most poly.
Spherical would be the way to go I say.

Is that your opinion that poly is less durable? I've never heard complaints like that againt polyurathane. The SuperPro bushings have a texture on the inside that holds the lube agaist the pin. A common mistake is people don't use enough of the speacial lube, or use something petrolium based. That, of course, will destroy the bushing.

I don't have the info on the lateral links because I used the whiteline adj. links that come with poly bushings.

ive personally seen a set of PU bushings on a vw that were so tight the suspension couldnt go to full droop as fast as i could jack it up, and then a 25k later they were so loose that you could feel the slop while driving the car. I imagine constant lube maintenance would make them last longer(i dont have a clue how those were maintained beyond that the original lube was done correctly), but why bother when you can get a more appropriate part for the application?93forestpearl wrote:THAWA wrote:Poly is much less durable than rubber.

After doing a little research, ahem, I found that poly bushings are one of those things that will work great, but require regular maintenence. If they are squeaking, that means the pin is sliding against the poly without lube. That is when they start to destroy themselves. Polyurathane is sticky (think rollerblade wheels) and without plenty of lubrication, will get torn apart.

PU only for people that have time to constantly lube.

I really think the lube thing with PU is over exagerated. I've got poly bushings on my lateral links & front & rear anti-sway bars and haven't messed with them at all....they don't squeak, and I haven't had any issues.
I think I regreased the rear anti-sway when I took everything apart for the AWD swap....but that'd just be stupid of me not to.....

It's not overexagerated, it just depends on where the bushing is used, and how forces are being applied to it.
The VW thing isn't uncommon because of the placement of the bushing and where the forces are being applied.

serious, the bushings on the torsion beam were HAMMERED. Must be because they influence the camber in the rear. The front was what made the car hard to drive though, because the steering was all sloppy and the car was kinda darty.THAWA wrote:The VW thing isn't uncommon because of the placement of the bushing and where the forces are being applied.
pu is fine where it isn't supposed to move, like on the steering rack or on the bottoms of droplinks- i have PU there myself.
as for over-exaggerated, although the 'net tends to do that, i only am speaking from experience. good luck!
