Title: Seperate poly panhard bushes ?
Post by: Saffy on March 04, 2009, 14:57:07: Got the death wobble other day hitting a small pot hole, brought the truck under control okay and it has threatened to wobble couple times since going over bumps. Guessing the pan hard bushes are worn (again!) everything else seems good.

Anywhere to buy polybush (or similar) just for the panhard?

The price is fine, I probably have 'cheap' ones in there are moment, and I found what look like the same cheap ones on ebay for about £8.00, I'd rather pay the extra for branded from famousfour though. Is there a difference like hardness (apart from colour) between the red and blue on that list?

Post by: V8MoneyPit on March 05, 2009, 09:30:58: I've always used the softer blue ones. Personally, never had any trouble with them on the Panhard rod, but it's not to say I won't!
