Who has the best deal on cradle buhsings? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not interested in ADM or BMR.

I was looking at Whiteline and they seem to be a good deal. Do any vendors on here have deals on them?

PM on the way.

Check out Prothane Part # 7-142. IMO, they are the best value out there as far as poly bushings go.

Fixt.

These are the ones I'm looking at. From what I've researched so far, their bushings are only slightly softer than the Pedders, but definitely stiffer than BMR.

I'm coming to terms with the fact I probably won't drive my car to the point the solids will be worth the extra cost. I believe the Prothanes are currently on sale at JDP.

Yeah a well know member here pulled his BMR bushings out and I didn't like how "squishy" they were.

Out of the Poly ones out there, which are the firmest?

Dexman1349 · 03-28-2014, 12:36 PM

I don't remember the exact numbers, but I know they go in this order (softest -> hardest):

Inserts (BMR, Prothane, Pedders)
BMR (full)
Prothane (Full)
Whiteline - Pedders (Full)
ADM - Pfadt - Detroit (solid)

I don't believe Pfadt offered anything other than the solids.

Here's a link to the Prothane's:

The Prothane is very comparable in comparison to the Whiteline and Pedders.. They are the best bang buck available!

Wow. Those Prothane look like a great deal at JDP. I might have to throw down and get those even though I hadn't planned on getting them until later in the year.

They truly are. Don't forget the upper control arm bushings while you're at it; that's the best time to tackle them due to the overlapping labor. Part # JDPS1001
