Bushings?

I have a 1990 FC T2 and am after a full set of Polly Bushings. Who do you recomend?

Also are the Rear steer removal bushes any good?

Thanks......Chris

Are most of these bushings made of hardened rubber?

I thought RIGID made bushings? Do they still make bushings in Japan?

Hi Dom

Yes.
RIGID makes bushings.
But there is no data.
Personally, I have not heard about the reputation of RIGID.
I don't mean RIGID is bad.
I don't know anyone using RIGID.
Why RIGID?
Do you need info?
If so, I will check and PM ypu.

Thanks

I don't konw their reputation, but I do remember the name of the company so I thought I would ask.

I need to replace a lot of bushings on my FC so I'm doing my research right now.

Hi Dom

OK I see.
Replacing bushings is one of the most money-worthy mods.
Even stock ones are effective.
But stock ones hardness is around 50.
But much better than doing nothing.

100 % FC motor mounts are seriously damaged if no replacing before.

Thanks
