#1: Axle bearings, is this a new solution Author: Fifer, Location: FifePosted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 3:14 pm ---- While browsing the net i came across this website
Basically it replaces the axle bearings with a poly bush that runs the whole length of the axle shaft. It looks promising. Has anybody ever heard of this before.

And has less play than a metal bearing?
I think dragging my face behind the car would be safer

thats a terrible idea it has bearings not bushes originally for a reason. peugeots have been plagued with the dreaded axle bearings for years so im sure if it was that simple just to replace them with bushes they would of done it

#6: Re: Axle bearings, is this a new solution Author: Fifer, Location: FifePosted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 2:06 am ---- I used Google translate. No bearings it's just a full poly bush that runs the whole shaft length
#7: Re: Axle bearings, is this a new solution Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 2:12 am ---- The material for that bush wont be as stiff as a metal bearing. So it's no good.
