AVO damper bottom bush

[Mr Locust]

The red poly bushes on my AVO dampers code "RA6 AVO" appear to have failed after around 2years/2kmiles. Not good.

They appear to be either too too soft or the split type bush doesn't suit the application. Either way they aren't even dirty......

Does anybody have any recommendations/experience of something a little more durable which fit the AVO damper lower eye as a replacement?

Thanks.

Know that feeling! The new avo ones seemed different so I'm going again with them

I'll look for the Powerflex ones I have and see if they have a code

Seems a bit poor. Have you had a chat with AVO to see if they'll replace them.
Have you had the "weight on" when you've tightened the bolt ?

No point, as these bushes are a sliding fit on the pin. It is important with rubber bushes where the inner is bonded to the outer sleeve. These you want to mount in the neutral position so that the rubber will flex equal amounts up or down.

Not yet fitted so no comment on ride etc.

Thanks all for the feedback.
I'll check out the Powerflex number.
