BEST bushes

[Dave]

Who makes the best urethane bushes?

I've been told Nolathane make the best, and I've also heard that Nolathane are just Pedders. Whiteline seem to be about average as well as Super pro.

G'day Dave,

We avoid discussing other manufacturer?s products but would be very interested if you have experienced a problem with any bushes we have supplied.

Could I request that you explain why you feel our products are "average" please? Do you have first hand experience??, we pride our selves in the R&D (research and development) that is expended in developing our products which are exported world wide where we enjoy an excellent reputation for quality and product support.

Any feed back will be appreciated Dave. Also, do you have a particular application where you require specific advice or have experienced a problem??

Regards

I was just asking to see what others have heard, because those are the things I have heard when going to suspension places and talking to the guys about bushes and what not, just general info like where they're made, how they're made etc.

There's some mixed opinions out there although some are the same that's why I asked to see what others have experienced. Personally I couldn't tell the difference between any urethane bush. It's all just picked up from talking suspension, I guess because all people have a different driving style or they supply different products they might be influenced more by a certain product.

All very valid points Dave :)

It will be interesting to read the comments you get on your thread

I would say that some manufacturers have got their own good and bad points. Super pro make a very good range with exceptional fitment quality. Also they have their "unique" nirling(spelling??) which allows excellent grease retention in shackle bushes etc.
Noltec can make an excellent shelled bush something which a lot of bush manufacturers seem to struggle with, or maybe it is just a cost thing?? As well as a soft duro so therefore not as harsh in a lot of applications.
Nolathane are...I will keep my thoughts on Nolathane to myself.
And I suppose finally Whiteline pick the good points of various suppliers added to their own designs to come up with an excellent range of performance upgrades.
Or something like that any way, these are of course no more than my oppinions from using various brands over time.
