Seperate poly panhard bushes ?
« on: March 04, 2009, 14:57:07 »
Got the death wobble other day hitting a small pot hole, brought  the truck under control okay and it has threatened to wobble couple times since going over bumps. Guessing the pan hard bushes are worn (again!) everything else seems good.

Anywhere to buy polybush (or similar) just for the panhard?

I have just has this, but I managed to get a panhard set from the Donnington show ended up with Super Pro, they were £16 but have a 3 year warranty.

Excellent thank you. The price is fine, I probably have 'cheap' ones in there are moment, and I found what look like the same cheap ones on ebay for about £8.00, I'd rather pay the extra for branded from famousfour though.  Is there a difference like hardness (apart from colour) between the red and blue on that list?

I've personaly given up on poly panhard rod bushes, its genuine ones for me every time now they last much better and give a more progressive failure mode. Just my two peneth.

I've always used the softer blue ones. Personally, never had any trouble with them on the Panhard rod, but it's not to say I won't!
