IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

I've always assembled items using Waxoyl as a jointing compound (chemical goo
) and it works very well.
From recent inspections on a 40 year old car that I put Waxoyl (the honey coloured stuff) on in its youth (and my youth) it doesn't appear to harm rubber either!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYeah, Waxoyl is great. Especially on areas where there is no contact with anything except air/water.
I decided to fit new genuine suzuki bushes and ordered a set of these brackets to avoid rust creeping under flaking powder coating.
On top of this I will apply a generous coat of Hammerite on the brackets then put some Waxoyl on the bushes to isolate them.
If the factory components coul last for 15 years I guess the new ones will serve more than that with added protection.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI’m thinking of replacing the original 21 year old aluminium transfer brackets and mounting rubbers on our Jimny. One question I have is why aftermarket rubber bushes seem to be round and outwardly appear much smaller than Suzuki originals e.g.
These appear like chubby rubber washers. Can anyone kindly advise whether they’re actually a suitable replacement.

There is no science behind it. Those are the components which can be easily sourced from China, cost near to nothing,.
Then the DIY entrepreneur put them together in their shed in order to foul people and charge them for an arm and a leg.
Many people reported increased noise as the trough bolt transfers the vibration into the cabin. Stick with the original design even aftermarket will do, no need to be genuine.
Regarding mounting brackets the cheapest is the genuine Suzuki alloy set. You can buy a new set for less than £70 delivered from ebay.
