Re: New Stabilizer Bushings

On round bushings that work hard and have a heavy loading I've had some success by purchasing round polyurethane stock rods, freezing them, and lathe-turning them. Kind of messy and crude but with patience you get a good product.

With the huge number of polyurethane suspension bushings that places like PST have, I've often thought that there must be a good chance of finding ones that fit or can be easily modified to fit our applications. That said, I've never pursued the idea. I've certainly not had an acceptable service life from some of the rubber suspension bushings from the likes of Steele Rubber. Spending the effort to find NOS where you can seems worth the effort.

PS - I believe PST is owned by Kanter Bros. so perhaps they're already explored any crossover applications.
