Hi Blokes. Is the ride better (tighter). Will they increase the scuttle noise on old cars (dash rattles etc) Do they last as long or squeak like old rubber! Is there a difference between the red and dark blue ones! Should a car fail a wof for them being on one side of a car only!(cheapskates!) Transplanted Series III XJ 12 jag subframe. All comments and pisstakes welcome & encouraged. Thanks in advance, Vaughan

1. No.
2. Yes, they last long if installed correctly, and no squeaks.
3. No, just different flavour. You can get yellow, orange, purple, blue, red and some other colours.
4. Possibly, but I wouldn't as long as the bushes are in good condition.

Cheers for that. By installed correctly do you mean not tightening up until vehicle is settled at ride height!thanks again, Vaughan

As far as domestic applications go .

1: Yes.
2: Possiblly, they are firmer then rubber (Impact resistance is better)
3: Yes, they last longer if installed correctly, and no squeaks
4: Yes & no, mostly just different flavours for domestic vehicles/supply. You can get yellow, orange, purple, blue, red and some other colours, butyou can get specilised compounds from performance suppliers.
5: Possibly & legally should fail because of the performance differences between the 2 different types
