Who sells the best bushings?

Post by velozi »

What is up with low quality bushings? Some fail after just one season.

From your experience, what is the best bushing in the market today and who sells them?

I wouldn't be surprised if our usual vendors sourced their bushings from the same place. There seems to be a shortage of suspension bushings right now. I tried to order some from IAP and Vicks and ended up paying a bit more for them at C. Obert's. I have no clue if they're any better or not.

Ted, that's really not that bad of a price considering I just paid $10 a piece for mine.
