can anyone explain what this is? Bushes are little rubber bits that sit between the joints of suspension parts to soften shocks through them etc. Have a look at any car they will have them |

For all the bushes as he stated above it would cost alot more than this. I bought polyurethane castor rod bushes for $85, and installed myself so just the cost of all the bushes would exceed $200. |

Yeh. The urathane bushes are harder, therefore a slightly harsher ride. Nothing too drastic though, and remember, you are driving a sports car- comfort takes a backseat! Reason they are harder is so they dont flex like default rubber ones, which makes the steering/suspension geometry stay put. They also will last longer than rubber ones. |
