Bushings Question?

[nightstepper]

Would it be better to go with a hard rubber bushing oppose to urethane bushings due to the fact that the urethane bushings will develope cracks after about a year or so? <--(read on the club 4ag website)) If anyone knows please inform me, for i do not have the knowledge. Hence the reason why i am asking.:help :thinker

dunno about the urethane bushings cracking after a year. I've had my tension rod bushings for over a year and they're just fine. Possibly a bad pressing of the bushings for the guy who was reporting them to be cracked?

[slakker]

How could you geat a bad pressing curiously. I just put my whiteline t/c rod bushings in and wanna make sure theyll last......even if it is after the fact

[Chingon]

I thought they were suppose to last longer...?

Anyways, energy suspension has some that are graphite impregnated (self lubricating).

bad pressing means that it wasn't pushed in straight. when we did my nismo bushings, one of them got ****eyed and the metal rim was crushed. we had to reform it to get it to fit properly.

as for the urethane bushings cracking, I have never heard of such an occurance, and I"m sure if they did blow after a year, someone on here would have complained about it by now.

Yep, not going in straight or people ghetto pressing bushings in with something like a hammer.
