Does anyone know where to get replacement bushes / rubber insert for the noltec adjustable strut tops??
 
Mine are rooted, touched a small bit poking through the engine bay and it crumbled to pieces. This is a common problem for these thing apparently the blue bushes don't age well for anyone else i'd suggest steer clear of them.
 
Car has done bugger all KM with them.

agreed, also had experiences with noltec and crumbling, absolute rubbish.
 
Cheers

To be fair to noltec and while I can't comment on those particular strut tops, I have the solid ones and they are awesome.
Have provided good service and still going strong. Much better than my recent purchase of eccentric tops from burtons, that dont fit properly.
There is a bit of this type of material failing of late, I've seen leaf bushed, steering joiner whats'its, and now strut tops.
 
Beware of nolathane (not the registered trade name, the type of material, whats it called?)
Thats the message for me.......
 

Ah won't worry about replacing will throw the heaps of **** in the bin.
This is off the ausrotary website to give you an idea http://i519.photobucket.c...emancomes/IMGP5422.jpg
 
 

You can have them rebonded with rubber, or other urethane.
 
Also lack of use contributes to failure.  

Any idea who would do this sort of thing? no issues with them apart from the bush really, hope to pull out today for a look.

Here they are, one of the tops was up higher than the other due to the bush being rooted. The top of this one pretty much fell off.
 
 
 
 

The company that did some one off mounts was in, or very close to Wollongong.
 
They did have a website so a search may turn them up.
 
Sorry but can't offer more than that till next week.

Thanks if you could that would be great. I'll try and chase someone up locally if possible.

Dude
 
I would look at converting these to spherical bearings (Like you should have bought at day 1).
If you have an engineer machine a groove inside the underneath of where the urethane was I think you will get a bearing to sit in there with a circlip.
If that sounds like too much hard work, email me and let me know what you want for the busted bits you have at present.
If you just need to keep the car on the road I would have some used strut tops that will get you there.
