Andy (Sycho) Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I’ve got some play in one of my front wishbones (metalastic bushes) so I’m wanting to upgrade the bushes. I was going to go the nylon route reading this guide, but am I right in thinking that’s still the way to go? Or have the powerflex ones come on a lot since this guide was written? The car is mostly track use but is used on the road as well, are nylon still the best option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too harsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty72 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I changed to nylon supplied and fitted by Playskool earlier this year due to worn metalastics. Can honestly say I didnt really notice a difference in harshness of the ride but handling definitely felt more responsive on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fildyke Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I just wondered if anyone knew of an alternative supplier of the 3 piece black nylon bushes supplied by plays kool. I'm in the process of changing the metalastic bushes on my s2000 and had used these on my previous westy and they were perfect. Appreciate the factory supply a 5 piece version but would prefer the 3 piece top hat type if I can find any. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
