Poly Bushing Kit

Well I dont think it would be that difficult to take off completely or one side could be done at a time.

What is the reliability on the ones you have made?

The spherical joints I've done have lasted a surprisingly long time, many years even in unprotected applications and have been silent and solid. A delrin or other type of hard plastic bushing in a simple pivot bushing would be a lifetime replacement under any normal use, they really don't wear and with no rubber to degrade they function the same for much longer than the rest of the car will last.

So can we get some in production? Are you willing to prototype a set to benefit our community?

I can have them made, I originally looked into it for the control arm bushing application but ZZP offers a nice solution for that for the very few who want to upgrade, the reality is that spherical joints are not cheap, cobalt sets were $200+.

For the rear axle, assuming it's a simple round urethane application it would be much simpler. I can't really take apart the wife's car for projects, as she doesn't drive manual and all my other vehicles are manual trans, so i'll try to measure it when I kidnap her car next time to install the exhaust on her day off. I'll see what I can do.

That would be cool, it would seem like a pretty basic swap with a basic new bushing. Maybe if there is enough buzz for this we can do a group buy through a manufacturer to keep the prices down.
