Suspension Bush Material.

[BogBeast]

I am going to try my hand at making a set of top hat suspension bushes for my bottom chassis>wishbone mount

I am googling around and have come up with a choice of:

NYLATRON
NYLATRON GS
NYLATRON GSM
Delrin
Delrin AF (although I cant seem to get this online)

There also seems to be a choice of cast or extruded rod - not sure if there is a benefit with either type.

Are there any materials I need to steer clear of? Or does anyone one have a recomendations for which of the above to use (or anything that is not on the list...)

Ta!

Thanks for the reply.

Its for my Ultima - the bottom rear bush seems to suffer alot, It has eaten 2 poly bush's and I want to try something else. Comfort is not a major issue

I found some NYLATRON GSM Rod,on ebay, cheap enoough to have an experiment with

Ok, thanks.

I can see that superflex do Polyurethane round bar that I should be able to turn up into a bush.

The ultima did have the option of a full rose jointed solution, so I am reasonably confident that the mounts will take any additional stress from a nylatron bearing.

(and I have just looked at the web site and they seem to offer a nylatron option now as well)
