Am i correct in thinking that its possible to buy rubber compounds in order to make your own rubber bushes etc? I have a diff mount i would like to have a go at but could do with some guidance on the rubber compounds etc..... Cheers |

If you do some research on 'shore hardness' you will find some info, I can't remember whether it is A or C that you need but one is much harder than the other and totally inappropriate for vehicle bushes. Having just typed that out I just realised that you are asking about rubber bushes. You can definitely buy stuff to make polyurethane bushes - not sure really how actual rubber bushes are made. |

Another option is to weld some metal bits to make the rear diff mount solid. A few companies make a poly rear diff mount, and I have seen 185 owners buy kits that allow them to make their own poly engine mounts and rear diff mounts. |
