Originally posted by driftin jo View PostNylon is a very bad choice for bushes, it is hygroscopic, it will absorb water and expand when it gets wet and as it is pressed in to a metal surround that will not give it will thus indent the bush crushing it beyond it's elastic limit, then when it dries out in summer on a hot day it will shrink and end up loose and rattle about.
I was going to make a set, until I asked my old man.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

Other thing I was wondering, the subframes are steel, could you fit steel ones, weld them in, then prime/paint etc?
Would allow the holes to be offset to get some castor.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

We have "offcuts" at work which are just the right size for these.
Not big enough for caliper brackets though.Kingdoms are run by Kings, Dictatorships are run by Dictators.

I think that AndyP has a set of bushes so I'll measure them up unless there is a drawing available?
Alternatively I could send the "scrap" to Bambridge if he wants to use some inserts machining titanium.Kingdoms are run by Kings, Dictatorships are run by Dictators.
