Polyurethane front rollbar bushes ??

Post by mickc » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:08 pm

Hi all.

The front r/bar D-bushes on my 96 2.5D 2WD are shot. Does anyone know of any correct size PU bushes that fit? I would prefer this solution as it would be lifelong for my old bus. I looked on evilbay with no luck.

Many thanks.

As far as we know there are no compatible ARB bushes, only the Mazda originals. Generally available for around £6.50 plus postage & VAT. Club Shop have them in stock.

On a tip from a mechanic and bongo owner i refurbished mine by relining with layers of cycle inner tube, held in place with cycle inner tube. I don't think they've needed redoing in the 9 years since i made the repair! :lol:

Are the bushes vehicle specific ..??

I would have thought as long as the Anti roll bar diameter and 'saddle' width was specified they would be universal ..??

I think if you sent a new one to powerflex they would make one or have a compatible one. I was going to do it but never got around to it.

Many thanks for all the replies, I'll go to amazon first and take it from there, I'm sure I'll get sorted now.
