Now, I use my car as a daily deutschebag and weekend autocrosser. Right now my front and rear end feel kind of soft and squishy. My car still has the OE bushings (cheap rubber) from 1975. I've felt the ride of a 911 SC with Weltmeister bushings and it wasn't bad, and also a 911 SC with the poly-bronze bushings from Elephant Foot Racing and that was just like riding in a new 993. BUT I've yet to feel how the ride in a car with Mueller bearings or Neoprene bushings are. Cost wise the Weltmeister bushings or Mueller Bearings seem best, but I'm more concerned with the ride of the car.
For those using different flavors of bushings, what do you reccommend? |

Does anybody figure that there are other plastics that are suitable for bushings?
There are some other plastics that seem to be better suited for bushings, if you discount the noise aspect, such as Hydlar ZF (Nylon / Kevlar) and Acetal/Delrin. I think urethane is used because it is cheap, available and easily injection molded and have vibration damping characteristics. |
