Trailing Arm Bushing Options
 
I wanted to get feedback on rear trailing arm bushings for my 71 911 targa.

Im trying to decide between Elephant sport bushings vs Rennline monoballs They're the same price.

Are the Rennline monoballs equally as good as the Elephant monoballs?

I first attempted going with the Rennline monoballs in my stock '70 trailing arms. I was never able to get them installed. They were just enough too large not to go in. I will give Rennline credit for working with me, and providing replacements when the first couple wouldn't go, but ultimately we gave up. They claim to have tested them on steel arms, but I can't help thinking they were designed with aluminum arms in mind, and weren't tested thoroughly on earlier arms. Ultimately I went with Elephant sport rubber. Installation was a breeze (comparatively), and they feel great.

I installed the elephant racing mono balls a few months ago. They went in easy, I'm happy with them.

Note: I have aluminum trailing arms

Hard to decide for the same price Rennline vs Sport

Also, will the monoballs make the car ride harsher than the sport rubber?
