Title: Australian Polythene Suspension Bushes?
Post by: Shallow Al on 22 November 2010, 18:01:07

Seen a site by this company Nolathane in Australia and they seem to do lots of various suspension bushes in polythene for the Australian version of the Omega. Dont know if they would fit, or whether they can be obtained over here.
Anybody any knowledge of these please?
Cheers.

Does the logo have a kangaroo on it? As a while ago i fitted some steering rack bushes to my Nissan that were Australian and had a kangaroo on the label. They were made from dark blue clear plastic. They worked really well.

out of all the bushes on the Holden, you can use only a small minority.

rear subframe "donut" bushes - same, so you can use those

rear semi-trailing arm bushes, yes you can use these, BUT you need to remove the camber/toe correction bars, so there's no point really.

front suspension - nothing useable

Ok. Thanks for that. They are not as useful as it seems.
