Polyurethane bushings are more durable than rubber and can handle higher loads. Their stiffer and stronger material provides better alignment and steering control. However, rubber bushings excel at absorbing vibrations and reducing road noise, resulting in a smoother, quieter ride. They are also more affordable. The difference in feel between brands of polyurethane bushings is almost negligible, in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Great video, I rewatch your stuff all the time whenever I need to do a job lol. Any reason to do super pro at the front and black raptor on the back? I imagine just to keep the budget down which is exactly why I am considering doing the same..!
The press is useful both to remove and insert the new bushing but you can get away without one if you're crafty. You can drill / hacksaw out out the old rubber & casing. A vice should be sufficient to get the new ones in too. Again, easier with a press but you can work around it if you're trying to DIY.
Hi mate. I would throw those bushings in the bin and get genuine rubber. You're losing flex by putting these in. Ive snapped diff mounts off using poly bushes. Just my experience.
You get more vibration when you go in potholes or hit road bumps but thats expected with the added stiffness from the poly bushings. It's not bad in my opinion but for others it might be. I hope this helps :)
@@Zaff_TT Thanks for the feedback. I've just ordered the same Castor correction bushes as you have but going by what you're saying, I've opted for the OEM rubber (radius arm to chassis) bushes which I hope will reduce this somewhat. I think polyurethane Bushes are great but since I use my Jimny 99% on-road, I believe rubber will be slightly better for me. Love your channel BTW ☺
Sweet mods bushings go a long way. My van need some bushings bad bad thanks for the reminder 🙃
Thanks bud ! :)
What is the characteristics of black raptor? Smoother behavior than original? Less movement of the cabin?

Agreed! He's so cute! ☺️
Lmao ! He's the goodest good boy !
@@sashar3215 He def is ! :)
Es fácil cambiar bujes , muchas gracias por la información.
Tengo un JIMNY igual y a mi me gusta la mecánica.
Saludos desde BOGOTÁ COLOMBIA 🇨🇴
Me alegro que te haya sido útil el video amigo
You should also change the bonnet with the new hummer style grill it will look awesome
I'll check it out but most likely that won't be available where i'm from (Trinidad). Thanks for the support :)

No specific reason. When I did the front, the black raptor brand weren’t available at the time
THANKS
Do you need a press, or could you just hammer it?
A press is needed

Thanks for the advice. So far so good with them but i'll keep an eye on them :)
@@Zaff_TT they'll cause your mounts to literally tear off the diff housing 😅 Trust me... do yourself a favour before it happens. Enjoy mate
On the ride stiffness, was it bad? I mean how was it with road bumps? Thanks in advance.

Did the arm line up when you put them back in the front, without the shocks connected?
Yup, we didn't have any issue with it
TOP ! :)
Thank you ! :)
