Are these pre drilled or can you do offset versions? :mischeif:

Nylon would not be my choice of material for subframe bushes as it is hygroscopic (absorbs water)

As I have never made any from nylon this is just me theorising .

As they could absorb water during wet weather they would try to expand but as they are surrounded by steel what would happen is they would be squeezed very hard, (possibly) beyond there elastic limit. If they then entered a dry spell and lost water content they could shrink and become loose.

Polyurethane, Polypropylene , Acetal or Derlin would be better IMHO.
