Hi Guys i need to replace my rear bushes on my coily - it was pointed out to me on my roadworthy test - seeing that i live in South africa i managed to pass the test, even thought the bushes need replacment.

Now ive been warned against Poly Bushes - so i want to see if i can get rubber bushes.

Will the jimny bushes fit in the coily raduis arms? if they do im sure i'll be able ot sourch them locally

OR must i order from OZ (expensive parts + expensive shipping)

I am pretty sure they are the same mate.

You could PM Bruce regarding the bushes as I know a few guys who run them and swear by them.

did have a chat to Bruce but the postage to South Africa is way too expensive - will need to make another plan

You can still get rubber bushes and the kit i got said jimmy/sierra compatible so id assume they are the same .

That is good news, where did you buy from?

shipping from OZ is very expensive and tried getting them locally but they only have poly bushes, i will keep looking for rubber ones

Stay with rubber bushes, polly bushes are to hard and cause breakage of the brackets.

Jimny will be the same, keep in mind the radius arms have 2 different size bushes(width and not diameter). The mounts to the chassis are thicker and the mounts to the diff are smaller.

NO SOOOOOO :roll:
Yes the ones you buy from normal shops are too hard. The ones I make are softer and work GREAT.
