Poly bushes...Lotus or other?

[langleytw]

About to replace all the bushes (fr & r susp, arb and g/box) so am wondering if anyone has a particular preference (with a justification perhaps).

I'm particularly interested in Lotus replacements if anyone has experience of these.

I couldn't find the info I'm looking for in previous posts.

 

Many thanks,

Tom.

I've replaced the anti roll bar bushes and the rear suspension bushes with Lotus polyurethane parts. Nothing adverse to report... I think that if the parts are specified by and sold by Lotus, they WILL work on Lotus cars...aftermarket parts might or might not be as good.

You can buy all the original bushes required front/rear from Lotus and Opel suppliers...

SJ also sell S1/S2 suspension bushes, mine came with Powerflex grease sachets so I assume that's what brand they are.

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll try Lotus and see what the prices are like.

Ah, keep it in the family!

 

Not sure which are for my S1 (ARB clamp and ends, Radius arm, Lower front W/B ..05459? what about rear links?). Presume that list's inclusive for later cars.

Could you check for me please Bibs?
