Mk1/2/f rear beam bushes

Featured Replies

Morning all...

After some experience/recommendation on these.

Currently running Bonarth poly ones... Which are what I want in terms of rate really.

Have back to backed with OE rubber ones and prefer ones which are stiffer.

I believe the Nylon ones maybe too stiff for what I want and further ruin what little ride quality/isolation I have as is.

However. The Bonarth bushes interference fit into the rear beam is rubbish, you can push them in and out by hand, resulting in play in the rear beam and a horrible rear steer effect which is just generally awful... Kinda of similar to that of the OE bushes but unpredictable.

Anyone had any other poly ones which you actually have to force in place?

Thanks!

I cant speak from experience, but if Superpro make the bushes you're after, then I would think they'll be the best fit.

Did my research on poly bushes and Superpro do seem to be the best. Just ordered a set for the front bottom arms on my 6N.

I've got Nylon bushes on the rear of my GT and the ride quality is still fine. Handling wise the rear seems very controllable on the track and day to day road driving I've never had any issues. They are a good tight fit in the beam too.

They Glader/PPP ones dude?

How much of a tight fit are they? Like how did you have to fit them?

They are the white ones from PPP, same as BarTek I think?

I had to knock them in with a rubber mallet.
