Hi guys
I have an Australian delivered 2002 Cobra (same spec as a 2001) and I have done the whole Terminator swap/plastics/interior/whipple etc.
After 20-odd years of hard work, the IRS is loose and the LHS rear wheel bearing is toast. I need to get a new hub and bearing, but I also need upper and lower cross-axis joints, lower control arm bushes etc. I'll probably do uppers as well while it's apart.
I don't have time or tools to do this myself as I've just moved, so took it to a specialist suspension shop who said the new generation bushes are harder, work better at a race track etc, but NVH will go up unless you get OEM-spec rubber bushes.
He doesn't care which ones he installs, but as I'm getting on a bit in years and I like my wife travelling with me - it would be nice if the rear end was quieter - so - the question:
If I decided to go down that path, are original spec rubber bushes available for the control arms/cradle/X-axis or am I restricted to high-performance Delrin or Prothane type bushes?
Thoughts?
