    Default Can I use these bushings again?

    Got some bushings removed to get some parts powdercoated and the lips were ripped off, are they still useable?
    Cheers

    As said above, urethane bushes are so cheap and easily available these days you'd be crazy not to upgrade while they are out

    Haha nice, just wanted to check because they are the genuine Toyota ones and still in pretty good nic.. Which is sad.

    Who can afford to buy rubbers when you're building and ae86? I just steal my mums glad wrap and DIY it

    It's an internet myth but it's not without some substance. I have head about it first hand but i've never seen it with my own eyes. Bad batches from nolathane or some such.

    Never had any problems with Superpro, have been using them for years.

    Also those bushes are fucked, looks like half of the lips have been torn off in removal so there's no hope of reusing them anyway. Plus there's no way that yellow one is genuine, that'd be a whiteline jobbie - which will be urethane - no cracks?? heheh.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    It seems Superpro it will be.

    Yes from whiteline panhard, and quite new - still didn't survive the press, is this normal? I'm guessing the black ones are Toyota actually, who else would make rubber bushings for an ae86 except TRD?

    Should have just left them in and used the money I saved to buy condoms..
