![]() While I have not used those bushings I can recommend that if you go that route over solid arms I would recommend welding up the subframe to make it stronger. Maybe even the same thing for the arms. We added some 1/4" aluminum to the arms when i used to run them with just new stock bushings and a welded frame and they held up to the abuse.

![]() More improvement was to weld subframe and double sway bar than this.

![]() yeah.. but you cant tell if my popometer would say the same.. tzhe 16v is gonna be a streetracer.. not that i want to go for a holidayride nor is it a drive to work car, you know ;)
I believe homer uses his 255 as dailybitch.. Never had polybushes so far.. i could think of i would like the stiff handling and would turn the radio louder when its rumbly but.. you never know :D Last edited by MadDog_945; 06-20-2018 at 06:43 AM.. |

![]() The thing with polyurethane bushings is that they only work ideally in applications where they experience forces that move in-line with the through bolt.
As in differential bushings, engine torque mounts, etc. Most suspension bushings experience movement on multiple axes which is not ideal for a material as stiff as poly as they can bind if the durometer is too stiff. The best race-y solution would be spherical links as they can move freely without binding on multiple axes, however, I haven't seen any options available. This full rear suspension solution is available although I don't have any personal experience with it: https://www.l-m-r.se/p/volvo/740-760...o-740-940.html Last edited by bmos; 06-27-2018 at 06:22 PM.. |

![]() That is pretty cool. Those clamshell bushings are usually shot to **** in 740's. Even the new ones are silly soft and cost $$$. On my cars these bushings always caused a lot of axle movement.
