Hello, anyone here have reviewed their rear suspension polyurethane bushes?

I am thinking to get one but I would like to hear some opinions.

The reason is; hardly anyone makes them, I only found one from C-One and the other one from America, which I forgot the name. So I wonder if its necessary to change the rear bush compared to the front.

Cheers~!

Dan, I haven't fitted them to a Celica (or a Sportivo) but put them in my old car and be warned that there will be more noise coming through into the cabin. I did both front and rear polyurathane bushes at the same time so can't say if there will be any issues; can't see why there would be. Otherwise they are a great mod to prevent the suspension from developing excess movement.

Superpro don't do any?

Nah, SuperPro don't make rear :(

They told me they can check the rear bushes and see if there are any off-shelf item that can be fitted to the Celica rear suspension. I just find it strange why don't they make rear suspension bushes when they have bushing kit (even with caster and ALK) for the front.

there is a member here throttle i think that makes spherical ball bearings bushings for the rear. i'd definitly get those, prothane makes urethan ones, but i'd get the metal ones as long as i was going through the trouble. speed fried i think is the sponsor

He isnt a sponser any more I dont think as he had a hard time selling his stuff. However he may have some left.

Is urethane the same as polyurethane?

I think the aluminum bushing is too harsh for my liking.

But yeah I think there's limited choice. Either C-One or Prothane.
