Prothane Bushing kits

[M Beauchamp]

Who has used the Pro thane bushing kits!

Whats the pros and cons to using them

 

[droptop73]

In my opinion...

Cons;

they squeak

they bind the suspension

they can break strut rods

they do not improve handling

Pros;

good for sway bar bushings and links

they can be had in pretty colors

I took my leaf spring poly bushes out cos they squeaked. Used polys on the lower front arms and sway bar/ links, they don't squeak. Seem to give a slightly better response than rubber, but that could just be me hoping I hadn't wasted money/time using the urethane bushes!

Cheers,

Dave.

P.S. Definately wouldn't use them on the strut rods - not enough flex!

Definitely not on strut rods.
