| Siberian Bushing Russia - Polyurethane Suspension Bushings
I found this company in Russia that manufactures a full range of polyurethane bushings for a variety of Mercedes models, including the G-Class. They also make polyurethane bushings for other car manufacturers besides Mercedes.
http://siberianbushing.com
I ordered bushings from them for the front and rear panhard rod /transverse control arm in the 500GE.
I also have new Mercedes Benz OEM Rubber panhard rod bushings that I will compare the Siberian Bushings to.
I watched their video online (Siberian Bushings) and was very impressed with their manufacturing plant and capabilities (such as CAD modeling and 'CAD structural analysis' being implemented).
I wanted to buy more bushings from them but asked if they would produce them in basic black instead of yellow.

The yellow is the polyurethane material that they use. Why would you attempt to change the material that they've perfected? Perhaps you have the ends dipped... |

They chose yellow because of marketing reasons and it is their company color. They do offer black for a larger order.
It does not have to do with the PU material, only the PU resin coloring as it is tinted.
Why would I want to change this?
Don't you think it would look odd seeing yellow bushings on a truck that is NOT painted black, or yellow?

Thanks Dutch.
No, Siberian bushings have nothing in common with my products.
I have similar products, and actually more, on the market since 2011. Thousands sold worldwide, with great reviews. |
