Hi all, I've had a stab at pulling the rear end apart today. While most of it is apart I'm thinking its probably a smart idea to replace the trunnion bushes. What are the pros and cons of rubber vs poly bushes pls. Keen to hear experiences with both. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Rubber has lasted on mine 50 years. The jury is out on poly. |

It comes down to quality of either. Crap crap crappy versions of rubber AND poly out there. Spin the wheel and see what you get lol. I preferred Poly as I was restoring mine, but if I had my time again and IF I could guarantee good quality rubber, I'd go rubber in most instances these days I think (except the rubber/poly combo on the front tie rod).

Wherever possible I go for rubber. Fitting bushes to cars every day and rubber is always the first choice for road use. Make sure you use a proper rubber grease on assembly. |
