Haven't tried this but I am sure that with the specs of the Coupe, Superflex or Powerflex can supply adequate parts... Superflex has hundreds of those Link Pin bushes: http://www.superflex.co.uk/products.php?cat=394Try to contact Christine @ superflex, nice and helpful.. Hope this helps.. Jochen

I got some for my sloppy 16vt many moons ago. They weren't listed but i sent them an OE one and i got something very similar back. It wasn't an exact copy but fitted with no issues.
I've never got round to doing the same with the others but i think its worthwhile invesigating, esp for people running with Eibachs etc, definite improvement and will last far longer.
Possible group buy?
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Good find there Jochen, thank you. All I need now is the spec of the standard item, does anyone have lying around a standard rubber bush and can put the dimentions on here. http://www.superflex.co.uk/datasheets/SuperflexLinkpinbushes.pdfThere must be a similar bush in that little lot that will do the job.

It doesn't really work on lowered coupes because the angles end up wrong and everything gets loaded up before it's supposed to.
My last set had a lifespan of about 2000 miles before they were toast.

You'd really need to take measurements off the wishbone. The rubber ones squidge into the recess which wouldn't happen with PU - you'd need to find some that were a bit tapered and pretty much the correct depth without needing squished.

These bushes arent the best in design, they sit low and are in a high water area. So perishing is seen usually afer 2 years even on new ones.
Nothing to do with the stiffness i wouldnt think.

I'd be interested in a set - mine seem to get destroyed after a few months.

Let us all know the measurements Jimbo, would be good to see if we can replace them with a harder material...

I would be up for a set of these too.
Mine are buggered!
For the sake of a few quid I would happily buy a new drop link and send it to you Jimbo...

Is it just so that you don't massively overtighten/compress them?
