Well I have made a few calls.....

I am going to revise/redesign the bush for the Subaru.

The story is the radius rod bush that we use in the 'MY' & 'L' Series was actually meant for Nissan’s. They just happen to fit the Subaru’s. So there not really meant for Subaru’s....

SuBaRiNo - Take the bushes (or parts there of) back to where ever you bough them from, the will replace them with another set of Nolathane ones, free of charge.

Nolathane components come with a 2Yr 40,000Km warranty.

Covs should be able to do a refund, although they will be dicks about it and they'll want you to wait until Nolathane inspects and OK's the warranty themselves...

Make sure you borrow somebody's stock MY wagon to drive to Covs with heh. Wouldn't want them to look outside at Hatch while your trying to claim a warranty :p

Picked up 2 sets of polyurathane bushes today and subarino and myself will be testing them, a report will be given within a week or 2, hopefully these ones shall last longer than 200kms

They are not different stuff, they are still polyurethane, just different grade / hardness. The purple ones are fulcrum/super pro brand. Some applications they are good but not for others.... I can say this from experience.

Let me know how well they stand up to the Offroad abuse...
I am about 6 weeks away from a new Nolathane version...

Why not measure the Super Pro bushes up and send Nolathane the dimensions? Surely there's no copyright on bush dimensions....
