I need a rubber bush

[owas]

The front shock bushings on the jag only come as part of a whole plate assembly at £90 or so each, not happening for four bushes.

Anyone know where I can get a rubber bush that's roughly the same size as this one?

50mm OD, 16mm ID, about 19mm thick.

Nearest I got is https://www.grommets.co.uk/products/bushes/standard-bushes/
50 od, 12.7 id and the wrong thickness so you’d need to slice it to the right thickness.

Would almost make a mould and polyurethane rubber.

I would be spinning that up out of some pu bar stock.

The Durometer value it probably quite important - bushes can vary from quite squashy to quite firm yet look to be the same.

That's the part, the version for my adaptive shocks is more expensive.


Ive just seen I can buy the 50mm pu bar for around £25

Poly bushes are available in a range of hardness , that helps , the sporty ones ruin a land rover.
