Ian Bunker Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have decided that this winter i will re-bush at least the rear end of my 1995 SE Narrow. I strongly suspect its never been done even though it has not been on the road for all of its 20 years. After much reading and picking others brains i have decided to go Metalastic/Rubber as despite maybe aggro to fit they seem a safer option. I was told the nylon half bushes can peel back as they are force fitted? Can anyone please recommend the best most economic (yes i mean cheapest) source for these and a decent brand. Many thanks Ian Bunker - Dorset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magellan Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I recently got mine from Westfield. From memory they were £6 each. Arrived within a couple of days. I thought that was fair and liked knowing they would be exactly right so didn't look elsewhere. Cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Bunker Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi magellan - thanks for responding. I take it you bought rubber bushes as opposed to Poly ? Have you really got a Toyota Twin Cam in a narrow body- thats food for thought - has it always had that engine in it? Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magellan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi Ian Yes the metalastic rubber bushes. I read on here that the extra rigidity offered by the poly bushes is not such a good thing on a live axle rear. Without searching I can't remember why! Yes I do have the Toyota engine in my narrow. I don't know if it was there from new though. Cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
