nolathane actually wears out the steel as well over time.

Hi There, I rebuilt my Tonner about 20,000kms ago and used Nolathane bushes. I was so dissapointed with the result, ie. hard ride, noisey and uncomfortable that I have pulled them out and replaced with original rubber bushed.
The difference is amazing. I personally would never use Nolathane again.

Nolathane was always pushed as the sporting or performance choice when bushing.
When I completely replaced all the suspension on my coupe the guy I had doing the work suggested nolathane for sway bars but rubber everywhere else.
