Poly bushes in a new Richards Chassis

cornish rattler · Jun 12, 2017

Hi guys
Just looking for some info really, we bought a new Richards chassis earlier this year it came with Orange coloured poly bushes fitted and not sure if I should leave them in or replace them with better poly bushes as the new Para's I am getting will already be poly bushed so if they need replacing I can do them before I fit the springs, what do you think

My chassis turned a week or so back and has the same bushes fitted. Is it just me or do they not seem to fit very well, they stick out quite a bit due to a lip around the edge The old ones were flush with the chassis, I think, I will have to check my photos now.

That is part of the design , if your springs have poly bushes fitted they will be the same design.

Ok so are the poly bushes in the chassis a decent poly bush, just don't want to be doing them again later soon but will save me a job if I don't need to replace them

Personally I would use what they have provided. Use plenty of copper slip on the bolt through the bush and a smear of silicon grease on the tube through the bush and then if it wears out in a fortnight it will only take an hour to change em all!!
That's just me though! I would suggest that the bushes provided are fairly generic but should still give reasonable service if you don't want to fit standard ones.

Yeah the new front para's I ordered the other day have arrived so I think I will leave them in and see how they go, the springs came with rubber bushes fitted but not mythered too much as the springs would probably need changing at the same time the bushes go anyway but I was more concerned about the chassis bushes so I will just have to keep my eye on them and see
