I am looking at a pair of anti roll bar bushes. Is there any difference to the colours beyond aesthetics, eg is orange harder than blue or vice versa? Cheers.

Colour shouldn't make any difference to the (Shore) Hardness of Anti-Roll Bar Bushes...

Although different brands may manufacture them slightly differently to others?...

Generally 70 / 80 / 90 I would have thought?

Generally imho poly is often too hard for use on 4x4. hard bushing wear out faster when used on sand and mud on 4x4 as well is my experience from leaf sprung SJ413. I will avoid poly bushing on my SJ as far as i can. Jimny has mostly road use so not sure there..
Many of us do not need the stiff bushes to hinder flex in off road use either, as our cars seldom is race cars anyways. :)
I go for softer rubber when i have the choice, but for anti roll bar you might wanna use tighter bushings to compensate for other softer springs/bushing and other mods to your drive train.

I'm exactly the opposite in that mine is used off road out of necessity and on road through choice, hence wanting it to be stiffer for cornering without making it an understeer monster.

Strange thing about poly bushes....you can have virtually any SH you like,so soft it's sticky or hard as glass.....making moulds is simple enough foy PU but natural rubber is a different process altogether....involving steel moulds pressure and heat to vulcanise the rubber we make moulds for 2 companies one primarily PU/Polymers the other old school...traction engine and tank tyres.

Guess what this is....first correct answer gets a conker!




This one is too easy....once all the holes are packed with explosives it cuts oil pipelines remotely...
