SuperPro if you want something different to rubber.
Otherwise stick to rubber, although I had a Mackay LCA bush 'creep' out of its steel housing a while ago.

Just wondering, I have decided to try Kelpro Bushes. I have 3 spot for the front L.C.A. and their standard for the rear of the LCAs and also have some A1121 Mackay for the rears(had them laying around). Kelpro rubber uppers, Superpro outriggers (seem to come in only one grade)
The bushes pressed out fine, used a spacer to avoid deforming the LCAs and rears.
Everything I striped back to bare metal, etched and lightly zinc coated, primed and painted.
Should I sand back the paint in where the bushes will meet the arms? I was imagining the paint could wear to powder and create a lubricant causing the bush to slip?..or would it just hold the bush in tighter?
Does anyone have any experience either way?

Remove paint on the bush to arm mating surfaces.
