Rear link bushes
I have removed the 4 link arms and Im about to fit uprated bushes.
The car is used for competition, tarmac rally, would it be better with spherical (heim ?) joints as opposed to rubber ? I'm thinking that the spherical joints will allow the axle to articulate more and faster, the rubber bushings seem to restrict movement. What would you do ? An analogue brain in a digital World |

Polybushes are very,very good,
but so are heims, If you go down the rosejointing route, the shell had better be good at the axle points & should be given a bit of seam welding to strenghten, these joints also need to be replaced on a regular basis esp with bumpy rallying. Id polybush it, but then again I dont rally,,, My mates have used both, polybushing is just the easier of the 2 An 86 is for Life, not just for Christmas |

Is this correct ? I have gone the harder rubber route as, from experience, the poly bushes don't last that long. An analogue brain in a digital World |
