Well,... My spoox / vibratechnics bush snapped on my trip to the ring... So ecp supplied all they had... Ocap.Anyway its been on since august and the p bush hasn't failed but the mount it is pressed onto has sheared. Any case of being wary about pattern parts!! ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

They've been known to sheer right off before. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Very upset about the Vibratechnics p bush failing... but this OCAP arm was almost expected. I did intend changing the arm, but as it was okay... I didn't.Luckily I was only doing about 30mph, but the clunk and pulling into the kerb was alarming haha ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

Yeh it's well known about cheap ones snapping. To be honest though years ago I was too skint to buy decent ones and my originals were f**ked so bought first line ones for less than half the cost of pug ones as a temporary measure and they've been on there for about 4 years now lol.I've got roller bearing proper pug arms waiting to go on though before anything bad happens  Glad I didn't bother with those spoox ones then.... Thought their about twice the price they should be IMO so never went for them. ________________________________________ Black power baby!
