    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

      Mornin' Mike, I guess you mean these ?
      Current wisdom is to replace all three on the rear spring with poly bushes, well worth the expense.
      And while you're at it also replace the front tie rod bushes with poly as well
      Search the site for many threads about it and where to get them
      Keep up the great work Rgds DC
      Edit : Predictably SG beat me to it, Superflex is the name

          It's established wisdom particularly on the front suspension tie rods, but everywhere else! There has never been a single criticism, except the cost, but it's quality that you pay for.

          A Marlin Roadster is particularly more vulnerable to UV light, the prime reason for the OEM parts degradation on a more open chassis.

          When I have previously published on this forum, in Pitstop, and elsewhere, it is always nice to provide full, complete and accurate information first.
