turbo Compliance bushings VS. urethane


Armond

Recommended Posts

Bought OEM compliance/radius rod bushings for my Tii. They are getting sucked in already. Need to replace them again. The turbo bushings are larger and firmer. Ther price is almost equal for a pair of urethanes. Your thoughts?

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Are you sure? I have no idea but I would question that if the compliance/radius arms are same and subframes are same.

All that I can tell you with 110% certanty is that Urethane will squeak no matter what you do and it will be firmer. There are good batches and bad batches but they usually last, they are easy to replace and they squeak. BUT it's a killer ride.

How old were they? Usually they last a few years even if oil soaked.

The ones I replaced are only 2 months old. Max from Maximillian suggested that I try the Turbo version. He claims it better than using urethanes as they squeek. The turbo bushings comes with a bigger washer and the bushing is supposed to be slightly larger and firmer than the OEM's. I did ride the car hard a week ago and it may have caused it to malfunction.
