Title: DTSS bushes, where?
Post by: Carolgees on November 28, 2007, 09:25:24 PM
Where can I get some DTSS bushes from in the UK?

Basically I want some asap if possible. I\'ve done a quick search and it seems they\'re available from the US (Mazdatrix, etc.)

Is there a certain kit/material anyone would recommend?
Cheers!

just get the cheapest ones from ebay us,  they are all nylon or delrin,  because they dont actually do anything you wont notice any difference.  The just hold the hub in position.   Make sure you eat your weetabix before you start the job though.

Thanks.

Basically, I\'m going to cheat - I\'m dropping the car off to have the diff welded for drifting, so I can keep my nalis all nice and clean. Errrr.. :Ladys-man

I\'m guessing it\'s worth replacing the bushes that mount the diff too? is it worth getting the whole subframe done while the £ to $ is favourable?

Hmmm..

can\'t find any on Ebay.

I\'ve found the following, but it doesn\'t seem to include the DTSS jobbies

Not sure if they deliver to the UK, but I\'ve found some here:

edit - surely someone in the UK must stock these??

try clive or pip or anyone really

i got mine from ebay US - cost me about £40 delivered ( if not cheaper )

be thankful your not doing it yourself - they are not the easiest things to change - took 3 of us about 10 hrs to do them - and thats without having a press

Got a set from Mazdatrix with a Comp Diff mount and Trailing arm bushes for $280 (AUS Dinars) of which $80 was delivery

In 7 days! Im pretty happy. So If you can get it to the other side of the world that fast........

Silly thing is that the Diff mount is a Mazda Part, Wrapped in Mazda plastic, and was half the price of a new Standard unit!

Nice one!

Cheers for that. I\'m just trying to get 4WS removed and diff welded for the 5th Dec but I don\'t think that\'s going to happen :Hammer
