Default Re: Rubber Bushings @ Spring Shackles

Ian, looking at #1 on your list, why not just re-use the existing bushes for the time being. They will be easy to swap out at a later date once just the right parts drop into your lap.

Good luck with it.

Nylon has a big downside in that it absorbs water more then most plastic.
Otherwise it´s "slicker" then polyuretane that gives you a bit of the "rubber" friction if that is wanted in the aplication.
Thermoplastic materials can be bought in different qualitys and density so polyuretane bushings can go from mild to wild still being polyuretane.
