SipposBFT Member 81 Member For: 15y 3m 28d Posted 02/02/15 10:10 AM Share Posted 02/02/15 10:10 AM After replacing most of my diff Carrier bushes (which were rooted)... there was unfortunately still this annoying knocking sound coming from the rear. My mate let me use the hoist @ his work to have another look around & whilst everything else looked in reasonable order, what I did notice was the control blade bushes looked a crappy design with around 50-60% of the bush hollow around the circumference. I contacted pedders & they recommended whiteline replacement arms. These bushes looked far more solid & robust...now I have a quiet "knock-less" rear end. These arms are a cinch to change & retailed for $155/side & to me feel the rear has a stiffer feel about it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keen to see how they perform compared to the Superpro units I have used in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need the Truetrac and the rest of the bushs to go with them. Edited 10/02/15 01:52 PM by GeGe6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only reason.Hmmm.... well your praise for Superpro (and Pat) was the reason I'm choosing all my bushes to be that brand from now on.... hope this 'experiment' of yours doesn't change your recommendations in the future lol. Time will tell I suppose.... Also; I assume through all your hookups/vast array of knowledge.... I was told that Whiteline/Pedders/Nolathane bushes are all the same and made in same factory with the only difference being the colour? Any truth to that?
