Panhard rod and other bushes
Morning gents after a very long absence from the forum I'm finally back. I'm busy trying to source polyurethane suspension bushes for patrols from Australia and would like to get an idea of what the most common ones everyone would need. Me personally.
Panhard Rod bushes
Sway bar bushes
Radius arm bushes normal and 2° offset for raised suspension
Coil spring top bushing
Swing arm bushes
Please inform me of numbers and if you'd like any other bushes.
Also I've come across a company in jhb who supplies replacement brake discs pads and even calipers at very reasonable pricing. I'm testing their product before I recommend them but I looks very promising

Re: Panhard rod and other bushes
I need a set of front suspension bushes, but would prefer rubber to poly.
Rubber lasts longer, gives better flex and doesn't squeek.

Re: Panhard rod and other bushes
My experience using polyurethane bushes has not been good. I suggest you look at the Australian Patrol forum before purchasing any new bushes!!
The Aussies refer to them as polycrap bushes, need I say more. I have recently fitted original Nissan rubber bushes to the upper and lower rear suspension control arms of my GQ Patrol as the polycrap bushes were all breaking up...the back bottom right bush completely disintegrated and the metal to metal clunk made me aware of the failure. The other seven control arm bushes that I removed were all badly cracked and worn. I will try and upload a photo of the bush that was in the best condition....pity I never took a photo of the worst bush!!
I regret ever having all the suspension bushes changed to polyurethane bushes as now I have to remove them all and fit genuine rubber bushes at a substantial cost.

Re: Panhard rod and other bushes
Ruben, is that for where the sway bar connects to the axle or are you talking about the rubbers on the sway bar links?
Regards

Re: Panhard rod and other bushes
Polybushes are from the devil. They transfer all the shock into the cab. I had them in a Land Rover. I did one trip and had them all replaced with OEM rubber bushes.

What did you pay for the genuine bushes if I might ask?Daniel wrote:My experience using polyurethane bushes has not been good. I suggest you look at the Australian Patrol forum before purchasing any new bushes!!

Re: Panhard rod and other bushes
Eish gents what you are telling me doesn't sound good! The bushes are actually also from Australia. The original factory pannar rod bush on chassis end cost R382 and doesn't last longer than 35000km on my patrols. That was my main reason for looking into the bushes from aus. I was looking into getting 2sets in at first testing them under the farming conditions I work in and if satisfactory Id recommend and start taking in orders. I'm still waiting for my sets ordered 2 sets pannar rod bushes chassis and diff end as well as sway bar bushes 2 sets front and one set rear. I'm doing them airfreigt at this time to get them here quick all together with shipping and parts R2049,00
