I was talking about both the axle and chassis bushes and the point is that the ebay ones are a bit confusing in the measurements and what they appertain too. Basically all the bushes have a diameter of 52mm. the axle bush is 42mm in the radius arm in length and the bolt tube is 60mm long. The chassis meanwhile has again a diameter of 52mm and its bush length is 52mm with the bolt tube length of 66mm. So if you order off the ebay and want axle bushes pick the ones that quote 52x52x60 and the chassis ones as 52x52x66mm.
I was only interested in the original bushes and would not fit the split type by the way.

Depends how you define "better" Tom?

SuperPro are better as they are one-piece, nice and flexy bushes...

My* / FloFlex ones are better in that they are cheaper and easier to fit by the home mechanic as they are two piece...

Some say two-piece pop out, but I've only ever had mine do that twice, and it takes some abuse my little trucklet ;)

*Since FloFlex make them exclusively for Bits4Vits


Thanks for the info Dave :)
