Nolathane upper control arm bush kits? Anyone used them?

Thanks, anyone used the Nolathane upper control arm bush kits? If so what did they cost and where did you get them?

www.whiteline.com.au look under 'your car' find part numbers and ring your local whiteline supplier. I used their bushes and they are fine for minor tweaking of camber and castor. But for a real handling solution you need sway bars and more negative camber than these bushes can provide. We found the bushes were great for small adjustments as the welds on the upper control arm wasn't 100% accurate on both sides.

yep I got a set of the upper bushes direct from noltec, paid about $100 from memory

a pain to fit

I havent had them on the track yet, but they are much firmer than the standard bushes

i replaced a set of these in a falcon at work the other day. we had replaced the bushes about a year before, with noelathane bushes, they flogged out, the stuff just crumbled away... these were the red noelathane brand.

however ive used noltec (blue ones) in my 31, replaced all the bushes and never had a problem, they have been in there for over 2 years now. no problems.

point being.....i dont rate the noelathane ones.

my car has rose jointed castor rods, do think it will make it to firm? I new to this stuff

undertoe....simple answer, no! it wont make any difference to the feel.... all it does is allow the joint to have some flex without the use of a bush. much more advanced than a bush joint.
