Trailing arm bushes
It's come time to replace the bushes around the rear diff I think. It's hard to see but I think they're cracking and there's a ton of what feels like backlash when changing gears. The diff and gearbox all feels okay with a jiggle of the tail shaft. I assume they've never been done so won't hurt for a freshen up anyway.
I'm leaning towards just throwing a set of genuine bushes back in. Anyone using aftermarket stuff? Any running cheaper ones or nolathane? I figure the cheap ones I'll just be replacing in the short term and I don't think I have any need for nolathane but be interested to see what people think.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

That was my thoughts and I thought would be the same in here. Just thought it was worth asking the question, especially with the nolathane stuff.
I have access to a press and a hoist so I think it'll be an easy enough job for me..hopefully this time next year I'll have access to my own if the council approvals ever come through.

It’s just another trademarky brand name for Polyurethane I believe TJ Mate! Great performance very early on installed but unfortunately its tough/hard yet brittle makeup has let me down in younger days very fast
Rubber quality is extremely variable too, synthetic variants (cheap stuff) suffers nearly the same fate I’ve found too.

Thanks mate. I had a bit more of a read around and people seem to think they get a bit more flex out of the rubber too. Makes sense, I know the urethane ones are rock hard.
