What do you like? I had a look at what is available and now I'm confused. |

IMO the lurethane ones are all rubbish for a road car. They either crack up or flow out of shape. I use the original compressed live rubber ones, never had a problem. |

Early ones are flat. The standard ones for the tapered bottoms don't have a lip, but other ones do? |

Yeah, I think that's right. The ones I got with my adjustable lower arms were like little barrels, with steel inner sleeves. No outer lip. |

Barrel, that's a great way of describing them. They are the standard ones for the taper type later lower arm. I'll just get them again I think. I put them in the Moke. |

As an alternative to (crappy) Urethane ones, there are hard rubber (real rubber!) ones available for the post 68 cars. They still have the steel insert too. |

Convert them to a spherical bush.... the centre of a rod end! It is easy to do! |

I believe illegal for road use. But fine on the track. |

Adjustable arms are as well... but this conversion is very easy to hide with factory arms! Rob |
