Does anybody make solid body bushings/mounts for our trucks?  If not, what would be the best way to go about making them without getting too crazy?  It's for the racetruck, so I'm not concerned with the ride or vibrations.

hockie pucks. maybe

You could make or have made something from a billet.  Shouldn't be too bad to make a simple metal cylinder with a hole in the center.  Since it's for a race truck, I'd much rather have something made of 1 piece than several.  It will be stiffer and stronger.

What are you trying to solve?

Wouldn't the Energy Suspension polyurethane be solid enough?

[team39763]

I just saw a lot of G-body racers doing it, so I figured I'd give it a try.  Any little thing helps when you're underpowered like my truck is.  I thought about the energy suspension kit, but I can't remember why I ruled them out...might have been price, but I really don't remember.  I heard about the hockey pucks, but I'd have to carve out that oval shape somehow.

Don't use hockey pucks, they will split after a while. Having some machined out will cost more than and energy kit.

I'll see if somebody here can help me cast my own.  If not, I'll try the prothane ones.

The Energy's I think cost me under $70 and that's Canadian dollars. Pretty inexpensive IMO. They are way more solid than rubber too.

[team39763]

You're right, they are pretty cheap, I'm not sure what I was looking at that cost so much.
