I can tell I am quickly getting old, the poly bushings in my car squeak while I drive the car which is driving me nuts. I had a shop pull them out and grease them inside and out, worked for a couple days then the noise was back.
Any choices other than rubber, or is the rubber a good alternative? |

@mikey914 I am not knocking 914Rubber's bushings. It is just that I have never used them. I bought Elephant's bushings years ago, before you put yours out. If your bushings follow form with the rest of your products, then they will be great.
The bushings in Frody (Betty's 914) and Igor (My Six conversion) are from Elephant. I bought two complete sets when they first came out and did both cars, just to get rid of the delrin bushings on Frody, and the needle bearings on Igor. I bought one set of the install tools, and I still have them. The installation was easy, as long as you used lots of lube. Putting the rubber bushings in both cars made them nice to drive on the street again. The bushings in Elwood (Our factory six) are 50 year old factory bushings. I am not touching them until they actually fail. Clay |
