Hey guys just a bit of feedback on these bushes. I've had them in the zook for abotu 18 months. In that time I've done around 20 days of hard 4wding and this is what they looked like when I pulled them out last night.

I'd think twice about using these bushes, the rubber is not great.

My last ebay set did the same, the large eye bushes had no rubber left, did around 1000ks on them.

I use genuine Suzuki rubber bushes, and aftermarket for the fixed end of the spring.

I don't recall exactly, but they weren't expensive. If you buy the fixed end bushes genuine, they are expensive (rubber bonded bushes).

Those rubber bonded bushes are the best. whenever i had to put new springs in i would use the bonded bushes. Can be a real pain to remove and refit.

Mine in a coily are the same. 1 days drive on a corrugated road and they were like that. Got poly bushes now & the drive rattles my teeth out.
Original bushes next time.

Think Bruce makes soft poly ones, not rubber?

Yep! This combo works well and seems to last a fair while! If you do not get the genuine rubber Suzuki shackle bashes you will most likely end up with a rubber bush that is too long for the shackle bolt spacings. Thus when you tighten the shackle up the bush will bind heavily and destroy itself in a matter of a few outings.
