I found this hardness comparison chart while searching for the best material to make my suspension bushes, and thought it was worth posting.

Cheers

LOL...yeh, guess what I have already used...nylon66
Hard isn't the word for that stuff! polypropylene and PTFE rod is easily available, although polyurethane seems difficult to find in rod form, but I'm still looking

Do a search on Ebay for "nylon bar"
