Chicken Drumstick Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 A number of years ago, on I think a different forum someone was showing some pics of angled bushes for the rear trialing arms (where they attach to the chassis) and claimed they allowed more travel and less binding. No idea if it's true or not. But does anyone know anything about them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Bearmachs polybushes have a chamfer on their edges which prevents them being crushed under articulation. very simple/clever and they work. i've had them on my truck for longer than any other make - they are lasting really well.

landroversforever Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Anyone got a picture? I'm intrigued by the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Heres a pic from their site, i couldn't get a clear pic if mine. you can see the chamfer on the rear trailing arm to chassis bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Heres a pic from their site, i couldn't get a clear pic if mine. you can see the chamfer on the rear trailing arm to chassis bushes. They're Super Pro bushes, made in Australia (or copies) Pretty sure Bearmach use the original though. They work very well and last a very, very long time, fantastic bush which allow plenty of flex (far better than OE) and are overall a much better bush the OE ones.

I think I'm right in saying the Bearmach bushes are something like: superpro make the bushes and bearmach have their own metal bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I believe the Australian Military 110 Perentie vehicle have angled rubber bushings due to their higher heavy duty springs. Who knows they may have a LandRover part number. I didn't wan't to use hard to get components so just fabricated a pair of 3 bolt wedges, but they were about 13mm thick at the middle and alter the diff pinion angle slightly. Bill.
