Might jsut be different brands. I replaced mine too yesterday as the ones in there looked in need of a change. Same red ones from Repco.
Definately go the nolathane option, rubber is a cheap option and wont reform its shape. Need a pic of old compared to new?

This is a current issue for me, as I need new bushes for the rear lower control arms in my EA. I was gonna get the Nolathane arms w/bushes fitted and just chuck em in my self, but this suspension guy says it'll f/k with the torque convertor in the auto.. No I'm not going to go manual..
I think I'll still go Nolathane for price and performance, it's not going to be doing hard launches anyway. |

Im sure some of you saw my thread in this section about the Nolathane bush's I had. well I got the lower (rear) replaced on both sides under warrenty but they have no stock with the upper. so im waiting.
I think the Blue bushes are not as hard as the nolathane but much better than rubber, so next time I have to pay for some ill be getting the blue ones.

wtf is this talk about nolathane, it's a brand. Nolathane bushes are made from urethane (sp) Nolathane were just the first company to market them. Anyways they're a lot better than rubber but tend to wear out quicker.
