LCA bushes, who's using what

[Eddy]

These are supposed to work very well for cars with an upright rear LCA bush (eg MkIV Golf and 6N and 6R Polo). Not sure if they make a version for horizontal bushes like ours.

After Gav changed a few things on polo last weekend he noticed my LCA's were ones he nor I had seen before. They're red, unlike others purple or yellow ones. Not sure on brand as they weren't installed while I've owned the car but it's definitely not the standard ones as Gav said. Anyone else have red ones or seen them for sale? Just curious which brand they are

Red ones should be Nolathane

Im having axle tramp and i have the Pedders LCA bushes which i think are the same as the Whiteline ones, they are currently around 3 years old, I doubt they would be failing already.

Maybe i should change to the Superpro with the anti-lift ?

Can camber contribute to axle tramp ?

I've had the superpro ones in for a month or so. Installed in the anti lift position.

They were done at the same time as the vibratechnics mounts so there is a definite increase in cabin vibration, mainly through the steering wheel but it's not bad, just everything feels nice and tight. Once 'run-in' I only really notice the increased vibration when coasting off the gas and even then it's only through the steering wheel a little.

Cornering is a bit sharper, not a faster turn in or anything just more defined in the cornering.

No axle tramp to speak of so far though I'm only running stage 2 so YMMV with more power. I've ripped up a few nice double pegger skids and it was rock solid the whole way.

I'm happy with them.

Greg, there's one problem that I have with Powerflex & that is from past experience.
It would take a lot of convincing for me to try them again.

Evidence,,, so OK it was more than one track day, went to the drags straight after they were fitted & then a week later down to Wakefield Park for a day of FUN & back but that was all.
PS. I do like toooooooo drive.

Was it just a bad batch or something? What did powerflex have to say?

[Eddy]

You do need solids, done a few on 911. That makes a car like a brick though.
