U-bolt Rubbers

[doots]

so my old man rang up toyota to order some rubbers to sit on the leaf springs under the axle and apparently theres only 3 in australia and ive got 2 of em. :blinks:

 

is this true or is this just genuine and have other people found other ways of getting/making this part.

A side question: do they make Nolathane (or other horse-power increasing products) for this application?

or you can cut out some from a used tire tube or nolathane blocks,that`s what i got on my ke20....i know i`m on a strict budget :blinks:

What car is this for? And are you referring to the saddle rubbers?

I just went through this. They said that there were two left in the country. I bought those and waited weeks to get the other two from Japan. You can still get them.

there is a place here in adelaide called technical urethanes that have made these up for me out of urethane with an aluminium spacer.

they would still have the jig. call em! cost me $60. may cost more for other people as it was a trade price specially for me.

but if your keen i may be able to hook you up.

just according to the Toyota Genuine Parts catalogue/elec part inventory......

 

i'm often harassing/inquiring about genuine parts at my local toyota dealer. you never know what parts are cheaper/similar price to aftermarket manufacturers unless you ask.

 

i'm sitting at about 50-50 for parts they have and those that are NLA.

How did they fit up?

 

I would be seriously interested in 2 cars worth. Had you thought about arranging a group buy?

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

Personally i eliminate this pointless rubber from all my vehicles, ever wondered why your car axle tramps?

i already have done it quite a while back. and there wasn't any interest then. anyone interested PM me and i'll see what i can do.

they fit well to standard springs. i found that the new ones that industrial springs made me was a bitch. as they used a slightly larger bolt. even stock ones didn't fit properly

so if you got standard packs then they would be fine. if you don't you need to file the spacer a bit.

I recall that actually, and was interested then. I would still be keen, and am in no rush.

 

Anyone else seriously interested if Greenmac80 can find the time for us?

how does it go alright? or does it feel budget?

my car doesnt axle tramp it barley spins the wheels :blinks:

 

looks like i'll be cutting rubber in the future and may even get in on that group buy soon.
