    New SWB front suspension bushings,

    Here is Rebel S Racings first set of SWB front bushings. No rubber and no grease. If you contact Clint please let him know you saw them here. I told him I would try and get the word out.

    Are those applicable for a street car? Wouldn't you want more "give" for a daily driver?

    They look great, just wondering about application.

    My rubber ones were metal to metal in 4 years. Metal to metal doesn't give much. The torsion bars are for the give and the shocks do the dampening. I could be wrong. I'll let you know in a week or two. Clint has said some of his LWB customers went up in torsion bar size because the car drove smoother and softer. I'll know soon.

    We have been making Bearing Grade Polymer Bushes for SWB Front Control Arms for about 7 years now.

    We use material with a very high impact strength at low temperature and we have both the front bush and metal cased fan block replacement bush.

    The ride quality is generally good as long as the upper camber plate bush is still made from an NBR material and we make the SWB camber plate bush in uprated material.





    We also make a 1968 onwards version which we use on LWB cars

    My rubber ones might be 49 years old and no metal to metal.
