They *may* be... look at the part number on them, if it starts with a 1 it's a bug part but I think the T3 suspension was bigger and heavier duty. The other problem with the urethane bushings is they transmit shock loads more readily, you ride will be stiffer, bumpier and perhaps noisier.

I heard they are the same as the bug bushing? Is that not true? I think I might go ahead and tolerate the squeak if I can get the urethane ones. Does anyone out there have any good used bushings? --fess On Apr 25, 2006, at 5:24 PM, Keith Park wrote: > Right on both cases; and unless they are the same as Bug ones you > aren't > likely to find any urethane ones.
