Hi all.

 

Anyone know where I can buy Blue poly bushes for the tie bars and for the lower arms??

 

Found loads of places selling orange/yellow/black ones, but not blue....

 

Thanks.

Why do you want blue?

 

Be aware that poly bushes do not work well in either of those places, and in particular, if you use a full set of polys on the tie bars, there is a very real risk of fatigue fracture. Youi should use one rubber bush behind the mount and one poly in front to avoid potential disaster.

 

Much of what is said about polys is just plain hype. They only work properly in certain very specific conditions, including having a nearly perfect rotation around the bush axis rather than any angular movement.
