[QUOTE="Mavik, post: 723889, member: 23643"] Dear all, during a routine check on my car's under carriage, my mechanic has started sharing with me that there are visible cracks in my lower arm bushes. As I have recently also changed my suspension, I read somewhere that it is also advisable to change the car's bushings. Hence I started looking deeper into this. From my research on the internet. [LIST][*]PU Bushes are good, [*]gives good feedback and [*]improve on steering [/LIST] From my discussions with mechanics and friends in the motor industry, here are some of the points that I have gathered. [LIST][*]PU is good but because of our weather here, it doesn't last long in heavy rain and dirt [*]PU if not used (especially if car is not used often) then the PU material also changes shape with the load of the car (unlike rubber) [*]For daily driving, original car bushings would be best to be used [/LIST] To me, I am looking at a combination of PU bushes and rubber ones so I am trying to reach out to the folks here for some of their feedback. [B]PU Bushes[/B] - SuperPro has the suspension top mount and bottom mount to replace the standard OEM ones (for my model, E90) [/QUOTE]
