[Dhuck]

I use a press and replace with bush's with a life time warranty. Ask me nicely and I will explain. However some will not like the story.

You peaked my interest. I'm asking nicely :)

[megatexture]

Screw the others I'd love to hear it mate lol pritty pritty.please lol

[Dhuck]

you have all heard of those hard as non flexing nolothane crap things. Well the company I work for (will reveal later on down the track) make polyurethane bushes. I would not believe it if I did not see it for my self. They flex better than rubber and have a life time warranty. Road, Race and 4x4. Have dealt with this myself. Funny thing is I have only had 2 patrols in the 6 months of working there and god knows how many land crabs. lol

[megatexture]

Tell them to be a vendor and hook us up lol certainly sounds interesting!

[Dhuck]

I can hook all SE Qld members up and any body else that wants to come to the region. Will do at better than trade price. But they will not be a vendor.

There are many types of poly. From soft like jelly threw to like rock..
Nolothane do a poly which is in the stiffer end of the scale. You guys might do a softer compound..
But cool. I'd been keen to know more..

[megatexture]

I'd be keen to give them a go

[Dhuck]

Please do not confuse nolithane for urethane. They are 2 different polymers. I would not touch nolithane with my worst enemy's penis's. Yes they must have more than one.

[megatexture]

What sort of $ is this stuff over a genuine bush ?

I am a plastics tech (my second trade) and they are 2 totally different materials. I have checked these out. The rubber, nolithane and polyurethane and the urethane seems to flex better than all and with the life time warranty if they crap themselves, have them replaced. To easy

About 3 hundred supplied and fitted but please do not quote me on the price. I am only the mechanic not the sales person. But can get them at a good price for forum members

Man I wish I knew this a month ago. I just replaced my radius arm bushes with genuine ones and it cost around $150 for parts and an a good part of a day changing them. I guess the knowledge I gained from doing it myself out ways the pains in the arrrs it was.

[Dhuck]

That would be the 4 bush's supplied and fitted (radius arm to diff. 4 bush"s)

[megatexture]

I have one too :p

I'm sorry did I not mention it was for local boys only lmao

[Dhuck]

In a workshop it only takes an hour or so lol

[nissannewby]

Are the similar to the items for leaf springs in the material used?

[lhurley]

In a workshop it only takes an hour or so lol

Our biggest issue was not having the correct die. Butchered a toy motor hub socket instead. Turns out toy motor does have a use haha

[Dhuck]

Every bush made by the mob I work for is made from polyurethane. But there is just different grades (hardness) of the polymer.

[nissannewby]

Duro rating?

[Dhuck]

Duro rating?

You are a good boy Matt, you have caught me out. Not sure of the standard Duro. I will find out Monday if you are that interested. We make Bush's in multiple different duros depending on the application

[NP99]

What's duro guys?

[BigRAWesty]

So does you company mold the poly into the arm? Not press fit like normal bushes?

[nissannewby]

What's duro guys?

Basically a hardness rating from 0-100, 100 being hardest.

[Dhuck]

No mate. Just a press in bush like the rubber ones

[BigRAWesty]

No mate. Just a press in bush like the rubber ones

Ok, so how much for just the Bush kit? Or is that the $300 ish?

[megatexture]

Have you got them fitted in your beast dhuck? If so how many k's they done.

Ill be keen to give them a try if like kallen says the $300ish is for a kit and I'm happy to fit myself also.

They wouldn't happen to make castor correction bushes also?

[Dhuck]

Not sure of the kit price. Will find out tomorrow. Yes we do caster correction bush's as well. No I don't have them in mine yet, but will do shortly. Mine are stuffed and I haven't been out for a drive in a while.

[NP99]
