f when driving your vehicle, you notice a change in its handling behaviour, ride quality or even braking abilities, majority of motorists automatically assume its worn brakes, tyres or shock absorbers. It is highly likely your vehicle is suffering from worn suspension and steering components.

Suspension bushes are the link between your vehicle and it’s springs, struts and shock absorbers. Suspension bushes provide the movement and/or mounting points in your vehicle’s suspension system. Hence these suspension components can influence both the ride quality, steering feel, as well as the grip of the tyres, performance of the brakes, and stability of the shock absorbers. Should these suspension components be worn, an unpredictable and more to the point unsafe motor vehicle can be the result. Below is a list of common indicators or symptoms of worn suspension components. Are you experiencing any of these, when driving your car? What your car is telling you? Worn suspension symptoms Vehicle noises during acceleration, braking, changing road surfaces and cornering. Key symptoms; • knocking • clunks • vibrations Irregular steering wheel behaviour. Key symptoms; • vibrations • vagueness, • off centre, • not self centring • poor responsiveness Inefficient braking. Key symptoms; • soft brake pedal feel • darting to one side during braking • wheel shudder during braking Unpredictable stability. Key symptoms; • • •

excess body roll during cornering understeer or lack of front wheel grip during cornering (common in front & all wheel drives) oversteer or lack of rear end grip during cornering (common in rear wheel drives)

Premature wear of tyres due to misalignment. Key symptoms; • smooth inner edge due to excess negative camber • feathered edges on the tyre due to incorrect toe settings

Suspension Identification Guide

why nolathane your car Whether you intend to build a Street Machine, Fast 4, go bush or simply drive to work, suspension bushes are the link between your vehicle and it’s springs, struts and shock absorbers. Suspension bushes provide the movement and/or mounting points in your vehicle’s suspension system.

O

riginal rubber suspension bushes are compressed or chemically bonded to the suspension components in which they are installed. In the case of a metallastic (steel cased) bush, the rubber is compressed at the time of manufacture and chemically bonded to the metal centre sleeve and outer steel shell. The rubber bush is normally press-fitted into the suspension component such as a control arm, then bolted to the chassis. In this way, the capacity for suspension movement or rotation is restricted. The rubber suspension bush design requires delicate compromise, as it must be soft enough to permit sufficient rotational movement whilst maintaining alignment settings. Unlike rubber, Nolathane polyurethane suspension bushes are not bonded by compression. Nolathane bushes are mechanically fitted with minimal crush of the urethane material, and the centre pin is lubricated so the component freely pivots without restriction. Combined with Nolathane’s ability to maintain the bush shape, this free pivoting provides sharper handling response and greatly increased suspension control.

Technical developments in suspension design have provided many of today’s vehicles much improved on-road handling. Using Nolathane suspension bushes ensures there is no weakness in the suspension and therefore maintains steering control.

Nolathane bushes bring the following improvements to your suspension: • Outstanding abrasion resistance • High load bearing capability (4WD’s, utes and towing)

Rubber bush bonded to outer shell and centre pin provides restricted movement.

• Flexibility • Increased tensile strength • Chemical resistance to oil, grease, ozone and weathering. • Alignment correction via adjustable bushes THE RESULT: • Enhanced road holding, steering and performance

RESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF RUBBER BUSH

• Less change in suspension geometry under load, braking and through corners • Longer suspension life and less repair time • Longer tyre life Nolathane was originally designed to replace brass bushings in vehicles competing in hillclimb events. Therefore the early formulation was very hard, as it was designed to replace brass, not rubber. Whilst it was great for competition use it was too harsh for normal street use. Over the years, just like vehicle and suspension system designs, things have changed. Today Nolathane is manufactured in various durometers (grades of softness / hardness), with the correct durometer selected for each application. Today’s Nolathane formulations have higher resistance to tear, abrasion and compression whilst being softer than the original formulations!

NOLATHANE YOUR FAMILY SEDAN:

Whether it’s taking the kids to school, holiday highway driving or towing the boat, worn suspension components can not only ruin your trip but put you and your family’s safety at risk. If when driving your vehicle, you notice a change in its handling behaviour, ride quality or even braking abilities, majority of motorists automatically assume its worn brakes, tyres or shock absorbers. It is highly likely your vehicle is suffering from worn suspension and steering components.

Suspension bushes are the link between your vehicle and it’s springs, struts and shock absorbers. Suspension bushes provide the movement and/ or mounting points in your vehicle’s suspension system. Hence these suspension components can influence both the ride quality, steering feel, as well as the grip of the tyres, performance of the brakes, and stability of the shock absorbers. Should these suspension components be worn, an unpredictable and more to the point unsafe motor vehicle can be the result. Save you money

Commodore’s with Independent Rear Suspension that have been lowered or carry a load, suffer from poor wheel alignment and resulting uneven rear tyre wear. If unaddressed, results in a ¼ of the tyre’s life being achieved (that’s 10,000km’s instead of 40,000km’s) not to mention the cost of frequently replacing them. This can be easily rectified with the Nolathane IRS kit that can be fitted in two stages, and adjusts rear wheel camber and toe to improve tyre life dramatically. Fitting of Nolathane camber and caster adjusting kits to the front of your Falcon can improve tyre life significantly. These kits replace the original mounts and bushes on the front upper control arms. Adjustment is via shims or screw adjustment that permit alignment correction. Safety

If your VT-VZ Commodore squirms under braking or pulsates the brake pedal, then Nolathane has the answer. The original strut rod to chassis bush (mounted just below the bottom radiator support) is a relatively soft hydraulic or fluid filled bush. This soft bush takes most of the braking load as the vehicle wants to keep moving and the wheel tries to stop. The result is very little feedback through the brake pedal and in some vehicles, even if the front disc rotors are in good condition, a pulse can still be felt through the pedal. Whilst there is camber adjustment on these models via a camber pin at the base of the strut leg, ’s replacement strut rod there is no caster adjustment available. Nolathane’s to chassis bushes provide improved brake pedal feel without harshness and removes the squirming or wandering under braking. You can actually feel the difference! In order to keep you car cheap to run, reliable and safe, here are some key suspension areas that you should have checked and maintained regularly: • Front control arms • Front strut/ radius rod • Front & rear sway bar mounts • Front & rear sway bar links • Rear control arms

NOLATHANE YOUR HATCHBACK:

If your car gets you from A to B, worn suspension components could not only end up costing you but also create instability whist cornering. Many small front wheel drive hatchback vehicles tend to “pull” to the left whilst driving in a straight line, which actually causes uneven tyre wear and in no time you need to replace your tyres which can hit your hip pocket hard. Fitting Nolathane’s affordable offset or adjustable caster bushes to the lower front control arms corrects this problem. Also your vehicles body roll whilst cornering is managed by a sway/ stabiliser bar that’s connected by 2 mounting points and end links to your cars chassis. Its quite common for these the mounts and links to wear or even break which can create excess body roll and a more unstable vehicle whilst cornering. In order to keep you car cheap to run, reliable and safe, here are some key suspension areas that you should have checked and maintained regularly:

• Front control arms • Front sway bar mounts • Front sway bar links • Rear control arms

NOLATHANE YOUR COMMERCIAL:

If you run a business, and rely on your vehicle to get the job done, neglecting your vehicles suspension could cost you. Most likely your vehicle is doing high mileage and load carrying which are both primary offenders for wearing suspension components. Nolathane suspension bushings offer are made tough and offer outstanding abrasion resistance, high load bearing capability (4WD’s, utes and towing) , flexibility, increased tensile strength and chemical resistance to oil, grease, ozone and weathering. If you want to keep your company vehicle and business on the right track, here are some key suspension areas that you should have checked and maintained regularly:

• Front Control arms • Rear Trailing arms • Rear Spring Eye and Shackle Bushings • Front and Rear Shock Absorber Bushings

NOLATHANE YOUR 4WD:

Whilst modern 4WD’s have improved, they remain a compromise between ride, handling and traction in both on and offroad situations. Tyre wear on larger 4WD’s can be an issue, and raising these vehicles can make the situation worse. Accordingly, many large, raised 4WD’s suffer from nervous steering and vibration at highway speeds. Nolathane suspension bushes synchronise your 4WD suspension system for optimal safety, handling & performance. They are the most positive link between your vehicle and it’s springs, shocks and other suspension components. Unlike soft rubber bushes, which distort under braking, cornering or towing loads, Nolathane bushes maintain alignment settings and offer complete reliability. Nolathane is for those who don’t want to compromise safety and require the best in suspension performance. When towing the need for controlled suspension is even greater. Nolathane offers greater alignment capabilities resulting in optimum suspension settings for improved tyre wear. Nolathane offset bushes are essential on raised vehicles to restore caster and reduce nervous steering at highway speeds.

common suspension terminology & what to look for CAMBER ANGLE Camber is the measurement of the inclination of the wheel from the vertical, viewed from the front of the vehicle. Camber’s main purpose is to reduce uneven tyre wear on the edges of the tyres by maintaining even contact across the entire tread surface. The vehicle has “+” positive camber when the top of the tyre leans outwards away from the vehicle and has “-” negative camber when the top of the tyre leans inwards towards the vehicle. Under normal driving conditions original rubber bushes or worn components distort and squirm causing the suspension arm to move altering camber setting, resulting in unwanted angle changes. Nolathane suspension products are far superior in maintaining proper camber settings because they do not distort as much as the original rubber components. What to look for: Smooth edging on the inside of the tyre is caused by excessive “-” camber, smooth edging on the outside of the tyre is caused by excessive “+” camber causing the vehicle to pull to the side with the most “+” camber. Always wheel align camber settings within manufacturer’s specifications.

CASTER ANGLE Caster is the measurement of the angle of forward and backward tilt of the upper and lower steering pivots (i.e. top and bottom ball joints) relative to an imaginary vertical line intersecting the road surface, also measured in “+” positive and “-” negative degrees. Caster is the angle that most effects directional stability. “+” caster occurs when the contact patch of the tyres is behind this imaginary line, “-” caster being in front of the line. Ideally the contact patch of the tyres would be “+” providing steering ‘feel’, stability and helping to self centre the wheels, so they point in the direction the vehicle is travelling. Too much caster causes heavy steering and when extreme, can cause wheel shimmy. Too little caster reduces steering feel and the vehicle’s ability to track straight and has a tendency to wander. Under heavy braking and steering conditions, original rubber or worn components can cause caster angle change effecting the vehicle’s self-centring ability and reducing turn-in ability when cornering. Nolathane suspension products provide better control under all conditions, especially braking, controlling and preventing movement. Negative effects caused by the camber of the road can be counteracted by increasing the caster of the vehicle on the passenger side by approximately 1/2o. This spread is provided by Nolathane’s range of offset caster bushes reducing LH tyre wear, rectifying a slight pull to the LHS, common in many front wheel drive vehicles. What to look for: Unless there is excessive “+” caster on cars not designed to have such settings, caster will not normally cause tyre wear. Always wheel align caster settings within manufacturer’s specifications.

common suspension terminology & what to look for TOE IN / TOE OUT Toe is the measurement of the difference between the front centre line of each tyre and the rear centre line of each tyre on the same axle. Incorrect toe settings are one of the main causes of excessive tyre wear, notably feathered edging across the tyres, is due to incorrect toe settings due to the tyres trying to run in different directions. Vague, unresponsive steering is indicative of excessive toe in, whereas excessive toe out causes the vehicle to dart or wander across the road. Toe angle is measured in “degrees” or “mm” by subtracting the distance between the front of the tyres from the distance between the back of the same tyre. A”+” result means the vehicle is toeing in, a “-” result means the vehicle is toeing out. Typically production vehicles are normally aligned with a “Toe In” setting as steering alignment takes place while the vehicle is stationary. When the vehicle is in motion steering linkage tolerances allow the wheels to move out under normal driving conditions. This is referred to as “Running Toe” which should be zero to maximise tyre life and achieve the least rolling resistance. Toe settings can be altered because of soft original rubber bushes or worn components allow the control arms to move during performance driving, heavy braking and cornering causing toe out. Nolathane suspension products are far superior in maintaining proper toe settings under performance situations, when weight transfer is high, such as acceleration, braking and cornering as they do not distort like the original rubber components. What to look for: Feathered edges on the tyres indicates incorrect toe setting. Feathering pointing to the inside of the tyre indicates excessive toe in, whereas feathering to the outside of the tyre indicates excessive toe out. Always wheel align toe settings within manufacturer’s specifications.

SWAY BAR CONTROL The function of the sway bar is to improve the tyre contact with the road, thus reducing body roll and stabilising the vehicle under lateral (cornering) loads. Soft original rubber bushes will often deflect excessively before the sway bar begins to operate, therefore permitting initial body roll. Nolathane suspension products allow the sway bar to work with much higher efficiency as the bushes do not distort, resulting in improved performance, control, less tyre wear and better traction.

the doÕ s an d dontÕ s of nolathane suspension bush installation Please use these hints along with any instructions provided when fitting Nolathane products. Vehicle manufacturers manual should be used to ensure Nolathane warranty compliance. The Nolathane lubricant supplied is designed to optimise bush durability and performance. Nolathane grease is a molybdenum disulphide (LM) based grease and has excellent stability & extreme pressure qualities for extended like and high melting point.

fig.1

fig.2 1. CLEAN all paint, rust and rubber deposits from suspension components (fig 1). INSPECT for damaged, bent, pitted or worn components and replace before installing Nolathane.

fig.3

2. USE Nolathane Lubricant (where supplied). Adequately GREASE all bush surfaces designed to pivot (eg. flange faces and internal bores). Refer fig. 2-4

fig.4

3. TIGHTEN all nuts and bolts as per manufacturers specifications whilst vehicle is at normal ride height.

NOTE: The major noise producing factor in polyurethane is incorrect fitment and uncleaned mating surfaces.

DO NOT grease pressed fit surfaces (eg. outer shell) or outside of shackles bushes.

FAQ � frequently Asked Questions How do i know when my suspension bushes need replacing? Usually if your vehicle suffers from any or all of these systems it is a good indication that your suspension bushes need replacing. • Poor wheel alignment or unable to maintain wheel alignment settings • Vague steering response • Abnormal or excessive tyre wear • Noisy suspension • Excessive movement in suspension components • Shuttering under brakes • Vehicle excessively following road contours • Bushes showing signs of fatigue, swelling, irregular shape & general wear and tear Is nolathane too hard? Nolathane formulations have evolved over many years. As the clear market leader in Australia & New Zealand our formulations have become progressively softer whilst becoming stronger. Each bush is designed using the most suitable grade of softness to suit the application. Misinformation spread by small competitors suggests that Nolathane is hard - this is simply old hat! We invite you to compare the “leading brands” and you will find virtually all bushes are now of similar softness. As the Australian & New Zealand markets are so small with only 24 million total population we have focused away from just motor sport application to what we call ‘Streetable Polyurethane”. In other words you can fit Nolathane products to a family car and obtain good performance improvement without compromising too much on ride, improved handling, steering & in many cases brake response without a harsh ride. Most Polyurethane you might see in the USA or Europe is around 93-95 Durometer shore A as they concentrate on a racing / extreme performance market, less than 1% of the Nolathane range is 93 Duro and these are normally to replace original hard nylon bushes. Most of our products are 74 or 85 Duro. When we design a bush we evaluate the best duro (hardness) for the application and that is what we design to, we do not normally make the same part in different hardness’s as we try to pick the best handling / ride compromise.

Do urethane bushes squeak? Basically, no. Squeaking is caused by high frequency vibrations that can be heard rather than felt. Usually the cause of squeaking is the incorrect application of grease (not greasing the correct areas eg: flange faces & internal bores), greasing the incorrect areas (outside of bushes designed to be installed inside the suspension component) or even over greasing (applying grease everywhere), however the presence of rust, paint or rubber deposits between the bush and the component or housing can also be a major factor.

What is the grease supplied and where do I put it? The Nolathane lubricant supplied is designed to optimise bush durability and performance. Nolathane grease is a molybdenum disulphide (LM) based grease and has excellent stability & extreme pressure qualities for extended life and high melting point. Grease supplied in the kits where required should only be used and applied to the bush surfaces designed to pivot (eg flange faces and internal bores) DO NOT grease pressed fit surfaces (eg outer shell) or outside surface of shackle bushes. DO NOT use rubber grease as this can affect urethane bushes.

What to look for under the car? Suspension Diagnostics It’s important to note that in identifying a worn suspension component, all surrounding or relative suspension components should be reviewed for contributing or affected signs of wear

Worn rubber bushings look for: • degraded, distorted, elongated, compressed or torn bushing • free play of centre sleeve in bushing • delamination of rubber from outer steel casing or inner steel sleeve • Poor wheel alignment Key areas to inspect – control arms, leaf springs, sway bar mounts, steering idler, steering rack mount, strut and panhard rods Worn hydraulic bushings look for: • leaking fluids from core of bush – simply run a finger over bush to collect any moisture • Poor wheel alignment Key areas to inspect – front control arms, strut rods and rear crossmember Worn sway bar/ stabiliser link with bushings look for: • Bushings have degraded, over compressed, split or even missing • Bent or snapped link rod Key areas to inspect – front and rear sway bar/ stabiliser link Worn sway bar/ stabiliser link with ball link joints: • Split ball link boot • excess compliance in joint- simply grab the sway bar, pull up & down and listen for knocking • Bent or snapped link rod Key areas to inspect – front and rear sway bar/ stabiliser link Worn spherical bushings: • Split spherical joint boot • excess compliance in joint • Poor wheel alignment Key areas to inspect – control arms, strut and panhard rods Worn ball joints: • Spilt ball joint boot • Knocking Key areas to inspect – control arms

alignment correction kits These pages of the catalogue will help answer many questions about Nolathane’s alignment correction bush range. These pages have images that easily identify the part, explain if it adjusts Camber or Caster & how much can be achieved per particular kit. The alignment correction product category is growing quickly as vehicles are made with less OE adjustment. The opportunity to use these products to tune to our roads & your customer’s driving style is great and should be considered an integral part of suspension, tyre (and in some instances) brake services. Products have been grouped by type and are listed in order of the standard part #. The listing below shows how many bushes in each kit are standard (Std) or Offset and the additional adjustment provided. To aid and help as to which kit to fit we have given a brief general fitment recommendation and benefit below.

irs camber/toe adjustment IRS Models - Due to high demand and poor tyre wear on lowered vehicles such as Commodore, Falcon & Skyline Nolathane have developed IRS replacement kits to replace the original non adjustable control arm bushes with camber/toe adjustable versions. These kits in most cases work via an eccentric crush tube and bolt setup. By simply installing the kit to the vehicle then bottoming out one of the new bolts in the thread of the crush tube it can be rotated to achieve the desired wheel alignment settings. A lock nut is then tightened off against the chassis to maintain settings. N.B: on some models 2 kits may be required to achieve desired alignment setting Part # 46138A (2 kits) 46138A (1 kit) 46139A

products of interest commodore differential mount inserts Commodore IRS models - At the rear of the differential is a steel housing containing a soft, heavily voided, rubber and steel mount. Over time this mount becomes excessively soft permitting too much movement also leading to axle tramp. The Nolathane diff mount inserts are shaped to simply press in the rubber voids from the front, unlike some competitors which require the weld on the OE steel housing to be separated to allow the insert to be fitted from the rear. The Nolathane insert is simply pushed in from the front and is designed to clip into place and is retained by the nose of the diff. N.B: Also refer rear cross member mount to help rectify axle tramp (below)

Falcon BA-FG / Territory SX-SY models - CLUNK, CLUNK - SOUND FAMILIAR? Does your Falcon or Territory suffer from a noisy rear end clunk at slow speeds? Have you been back and forth with your dealership and still suffer from the issue? Have you changed your driving style to compensate? SOLUTION There is light at the end of the tunnel with the latest product addition to the Ford Falcon and Territory range. Nolathane have developed a series of both replacement bushes and inserts that fit into the voids of the OE bush. Replacement Bushes - are highly durable and heavily voided polyurethane bushing and come with new mounting components to counter the over compliant or delaminated OE bushing and poor OE through bolt engagement. Void Insets - are a quick and cost effect way of fixing the problem with out having to completely replace the bushes. These inserts have been designed to completely fill the original voids of the OE bushes. For general replacement 1 kit is required per application with insert being fitted to the front of the OE bush, but if you have a XR6 Turbo, XR8, V8 or FPV we strongly recommend fitting 2 kits with the inserts being installed to the front and rear of the OE bush.

Commodore VN-VZ IRS models - The rear suspension on all IRS Commodores have two large outer cross member mounts that bolt up just forward of the rear wheel arch. These take all of the torque and braking load with axle tramp common in higher performance vehicles as the cross member moves on these mounts. In some cases a thumping sound can be heard under hard acceleration as the front of the cross member moves and hits the floor. The Nolathane cross member kit includes a cross member bush and a top spacer pad to reduce movement and reduces impact against the floor. N.B: Also refer Commodore Differential Mount Inserts to help rectify axle tramp (above) Commodore VE models - The rear suspension on VE Commodores have four large heavily voided front and rear cross member mounts that bolt up just in front and behind the rear wheel arches. Because the original mounts are voided it give the sensation of the whole rear suspension being disconnected from the vehicle. These rear cross member mounts take all of the torque and braking loads with axle tramp common in higher performance vehicles as the cross member moves on these voided mounts. In some cases a thumping sound can be heard under hard acceleration as the front of the cross member moves and hits the floor. The Nolathane rear cross member kit includes inserts to simply fit into the voids at the top and bottom of the original cross member bushes, being just an insert and not the complete bush adds in ease of installation.

Nissan Performance models - On models like Skyline, Silvia, 200SX etc they share a common IRS rear end which under high performance vehicles tends to walk or squirm around on the original rubber cross member mounts, reducing cornering & acceleration control and handling. Nolathane have developed a trick 3 piece urethane only design that replaces the original OE mounts and also includes a spacer pad to stop the squirm in the rear suspension on normal ride height vehicles. In extreme performance or lowered vehicles they also suffer from severe diff pinion angle change which reduces torque to the rear wheels. The Nolathane Evolution cross member mounts on these vehicles can be fitted without this spacer pad to rectify and correct the diff pinion angle to produce more torque to the rear wheel.

The Buyer shall be liable for any loss incurred by the Seller as a result of the Buyer’s failure to comply with this clause. 3.5 There terms and conditions replace and supersede all other terms and conditions between the Seller and Buyer. 3.6 Upon acceptance of an offer by the Seller, a binding agreement shall arise between the Buyer and the Seller and these terms and conditions will be incorporated into such agreement. If any terms and conditions are contained in any order, offer, acceptance or invoice of the Buyer then it is specifically agreed between the Buyer and the Seller that such terms and conditions are null and void and shall not apply. All representations, statements, terms and conditions and warranties (whether implied by statute or otherwise) not embodied in this agreement are expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. 4 Delivery Of Goods 4.1 At the Seller’s sole discretion delivery of the Goods shall take place when: (a) the Buyer takes possession of the Goods at the Seller’s address; or (b) the Buyer takes possession of the Goods at the Buyer’s nominated address (in the event that the Goods are delivered by the Seller or the Seller’s nominated carrier); or (c) the Buyer’s nominated carrier takes possession of the Goods in which event the carrier shall be deemed to be the Buyer’s agent. 4.2 At the Seller’s sole discretion the costs of delivery are: (a) included in the Price; or (b) in addition to the Price; or (c) for the Buyer’s account. 4.3 The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. In the event that the Buyer is unable to take delivery of the Goods as arranged then the Seller shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery. 4.4 Delivery of the Goods to a third party nominated by the Buyer is deemed to be delivery to the Buyer for the purposes of this agreement. 4.5 The Seller may deliver the Goods by separate installments. Each separate installment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions. 4.6 The failure of the Seller to deliver shall not entitle either party to treat this contract as repudiated. 4.7 The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatever due to failure by the Seller to deliver the Goods (or any of them) promptly or at all due to circumstances beyond the control of the Seller. 4.8 Subject to clause 9.1, the Buyer must give written notice to the Seller within 7 days from the date of receipt of the Goods. Goods which are alleged to be defective must then be placed aside for inspection by a representative of the Seller.

Claims of shortages in delivery or damage to goods may only be made within two business days from the date of delivery. 5 Risk 5.1 If the Seller retains ownership of the Goods nonetheless, all risk for the Goods passes to the Buyer on delivery. 5.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Buyer, the Seller is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Seller is sufficient evidence of the Seller’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Seller to make further enquiries. 6 Title 6.1 The Seller and Buyer agree that ownership of the Goods shall not pass until: (a) the Buyer has paid the Seller all amounts owing for the particular Goods; and (b) the Buyer has met all other obligations due by the Buyer to the Seller in respect of all contracts between the Seller and the Buyer. 6.2 Receipt by the Seller of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised and until then the Seller’s ownership or rights in respect of the Goods shall continue. 6.3 It is further agreed that: (a) where practicable the Goods shall be kept separate and identifiable until the Seller shall have received payment and all other obligations of the Buyer are met; and (b) until such time as ownership of the Goods shall pass from the Seller to the

Buyer the Seller may give notice in writing to the Buyer to return the Goods or any of them to the Seller. Upon such notice the rights of the Buyer to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Goods shall cease; and (c) the Seller shall have the right of stopping the Goods in transit whether or not delivery has been made; and (d) if the Buyer fails to return the Goods to the Seller then the Seller or the Seller’s agent may enter upon and into land and premises owned, occupied or used by the Buyer, or any premises as the invitee of the Buyer, where the Goods are situated and take possession of the Goods; and (e) the Buyer is only a bailee of the Goods and until such time as the Seller has received payment in full for the Goods then the Buyer shall hold any proceeds from the sale or disposal of the Goods, up to and including the amount the Buyer owes to the Seller for the Goods, on trust for the Seller; and (f) the Buyer shall not deal with the money of the Seller in any way which may be adverse to the Seller; and (g) the Buyer shall not charge the Goods in any way nor grant nor otherwise give any interest in the Goods while they remain the property of the Seller; and (h) the Seller can issue proceedings to recover the Price of the Goods sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Goods may not have passed to the Buyer; and (i) until such time that ownership in the Goods passes to the Buyer, if the Goods are converted into other products, the parties agree that the Seller will be the owner of the end products. 7 Description and Specification 7,1 Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the descriptions, illustrations, and material contained in any catalogue, price list, brochure, leaflet, specification sheet, technical data sheet, or other descriptive matter or advice provided by or on behalf of the Seller, the Buyer acknowledges and accepts that this descriptive matter or advice describes the general nature of the Goods only and does not form a part of any order or agreement or amount to a representation or warranty. The Seller reserves the right to modify the design of Goods without notice. 7.2 The Seller will not be liable for any defect in Goods arising from designs, drawings or specifications supplied to the Seller by the Buyer or its agents. 7.3 The Seller reserves the right to make any changes to designs, drawings or specifications supplied to the Seller which are required to comply or conform with any applicable safety or statutory requirements or which do not materially affect the quality or usage of the Goods by the Buyer. 7.4 The Seller does not warrant or guarantee that any Goods supplied by the Seller which are based in whole or in part upon any designs, drawings or specifications supplied to the Seller will achieve any standard or performance or be suitable for any specific purpose. 8 Fitment of Parts 8.1 It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer that the Goods are fit for purpose, and are fitted correctly as recommended by the manufacturer’s instructions. The Seller shall not be liable whatsoever for any damage or loss caused by the fitment of incorrect parts. 9 Defects 9.1 The Buyer shall inspect the Goods on delivery and shall within fourteen (14) days of delivery (time being of the essence) notify the Seller of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quote. The Buyer shall afford the Seller an opportunity to inspect the Goods within a reasonable time following delivery if the Buyer believes the Goods are defective in any way. If the Buyer shall fail to comply with these provisions the Goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage. For defective Goods, which the Seller has agreed in writing that the Buyer is entitled to reject, the Seller’s liability is limited to either (at the Seller’s discretion) replacing the Goods or repairing the Goods except where the Buyer has acquired Goods as a consumer within the meaning of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (CWlth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant state or territories of Australia, and is therefore also entitled to, at the consumer’s discretion either a refund of the purchase price of the Goods, or repair of the Goods, or replacement of the Goods. 10 Returns 10.1 Returns will only be accepted provided that: (a) the Buyer has complied with the provisions of clause 9.1; and (b) the Seller has agreed in writing to accept the return of the Goods; and (c) the Goods are returned at the Buyer’s cost within fourteen (14) days of the delivery date; and (d) the Seller will not be liable for Goods which have not been stored or used in a proper manner; and (e) the Goods are returned in the condition in which they were delivered and with all packaging material, brochures and instruction material in as new condition as is reasonably possible in the circumstances. 10.2 The Seller may (in its discretion) accept the return of Goods for credit but this may incur a handling fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the value of the returned Goods plus any freight. Should the Seller decide to accept the return of the goods from the Purchaser, the Purchaser must apply for and receive a “tracking” number from the Company and provide original invoice number before a credit will be considered. Goods made to order or purchased specifically on behalf of the Purchaser will not be credited. 11 Warranty 11.1 For Goods not manufactured by the Seller, the warranty shall be the current warranty provided by the manufacturer of the Goods. The Seller shall not be bound by nor be responsible for any term, condition, representation or warranty other than that which is given by the manufacturer of the Goods. 11.2 The Buyer acknowledges that any warranty for “Road-Rated” Goods will be void if used on a race circuit, or in any form of motor sport, or in any form of racing in general. 11.3 No warranty, either specified or implied, is given for any Goods specified as “Race”, “Competition”, or “Off-road”. 11.4 The Seller gives no warranty as to the fitness of the Goods for any particular purpose or use and shall have no liability in that regard. Goods supplied under this agreement should only be used after the Goods have been properly tested by or on behalf of the Buyer. The risks involved and any cost of testing the Goods will be the Buyer’s responsibility. 11.5 Nolathane and Other Brands - The Seller warrants all road rated (excludes items marked “Race” or “for off-road use only”) catalogued product under its various brands to the original Buyer against manufacturing defects, faulty materials and workmanship, when used for their designated purpose for a period or 2 years from the purchase date of retail sale or 40,000 kms from the date of fitment, whichever occurs first. Warranty is automatically voided for all products if they are used on a race circuit or in any form of racing in general. Any products catalogued or marked as “Race”, “Competition” or “Offroad use only” are not suitable for conventional road use and are not covered by this or any other warranty whether specified or implied. The Seller’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the replacement of the defective unit. Claims for consequential damage or labour cost must be accompanied with the goods and is at the discretion of Seller.

12 Intellectual Property 12.1 Where the Seller has designed, drawn or written Goods for the Buyer, then the copyright in those designs and drawings and documents shall remain vested in the Seller, and shall only be used by the Buyer at the Seller’s discretion. 12.2 The Buyer warrants that all designs or instructions to the Seller will not cause the Seller to infringe any patent, registered design or trademark in the execution of the Buyer’s order and the Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller against any action taken by a third party against the Seller in respect of any such infringement. 12.3 The Buyer agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller, its servants and agents against all actions, liabilities, claims, demands, costs, expenses and damages which the Seller, its servants or agents may incur, sustain or be subjected to in consequence of it, having at the request of the Buyer, applied a design or any other markings on the Goods. 12.4 Where the Buyer provides information regarding Goods which are to be used for products which require particular identification pursuant to any law or regulation of a competent Government Authority, compliance with any such law or regulation is the sole responsibility of the Buyer who agrees to indemnify the Seller against all liability, claims, costs and expenses of any nature arising from any infringement or non-compliance. No liability is accepted nor warranty given concerning the readability or suitability of symbols, codes or wording on the Goods. 13 Limitation of Liability 13.1 Subject to the provisions of the Trade Practices Act, the Seller will not be liable for any direct, indirect, special or consequential loss or damage or claims, costs or expenses, suffered or incurred by the Buyer or any third party however so caused (for the avoidance of doubt this includes but is not limited to any matter arising out of any use or fitting of the goods.) The Seller is not liable for any payments in connection with or claims arising from any misuse, negligence, mishandling, incorrect or improper storage of goods or any consequential damages which flow from them. In particular, the Seller shall not be liable for: (a) defects or damage caused in whole or in part by misuse, abuse, neglect, error, electrical or other overload, improper installation, repair, alteration or accident; (b) transport, installation, removal, labour or other costs; (c) modifications or changes to the Goods not authorised in writing by the Seller or any other unauthorised acts by the Buyer or a third party; (d) Goods not manufactured by the Seller (although the Seller will endeavour to pass on to the Buyer the benefit of any claim made by the Seller and accepted by the manufacturer of such Goods under any warranty given by that manufacturer); and (e) technical advice or assistance given or tendered by the Seller to the Buyer whether or not in connection with the manufacture or supply of the Goods. The Seller’s liability shall in all circumstances be limited to:(f) the replacement of the Goods; or (g) the supply of equivalent Goods; or (h) payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or acquiring equivalent Goods; or (i) the repair of the Goods or payment of the cost of having the Goods repaired; as the Seller may select in its absolute discretion. 14 Cancellation 14.1 The Seller may cancel any contract to which these terms and conditions apply or cancel delivery of Goods at any time before the Goods are delivered by giving written notice to the Buyer. On giving such notice the Seller shall repay to the Buyer any sums paid in respect of the Price. The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatever arising from such cancellation. 14.2 In the event that the Buyer cancels delivery of Goods the Buyer shall be liable for any loss incurred by the Seller (including, but not limited to, any loss of profits) up to the time of cancellation. 15 Force Majeure 15.1 The Seller will make all reasonable efforts to supply the Goods, but failure to do so for any reason beyond the reasonable control of the Seller including, but not limited to, an Act of God, war, strikes, lock-outs, fire, flood or drought, or owing to the Seller’s inability to procure materials or supplies except at increased prices due to any of the foregoing causes, shall not constitute a breach of contract by the Seller and its obligation to supply the Goods will be suspended. In those circumstances, the Seller may at any time cancel this agreement or any unfulfilled part, or renew it upon cessation of the reason which previously made it unable to supply the Goods. 16 General 16.1 If any provision of these terms and conditions shall be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable the validity, existence, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, prejudiced or impaired. 16.2 These terms and conditions and any contract to which they apply shall be governed by the laws of New South Wales and are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. 16.3 The Seller shall be under no liability whatever to the Buyer for any indirect loss and/or expense (including loss of profit) suffered by the Buyer arising out of a breach by the Seller of these terms and conditions. 16.4 In the event of any breach of this contract by the Seller the remedies of the Buyer shall be limited to damages which under no circumstances shall exceed the Price of the Goods. 16.5 The Buyer shall not be entitled to set off against or deduct from the Price any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Buyer by the Seller. 16.6 The Seller may license or sub-contract all or any part of its rights and obligations without the Buyer’s consent. 16.7 The Buyer agrees that the Seller may review these terms and conditions at any time. If, following any such review there is to be any change to these terms and conditions, then that change will take effect from the date on which the Seller notifies the Buyer of such change. 16.8 Neither party shall be liable for any default due to any act of God, war, terrorism, strike, lock-out, industrial action, fire, flood, drought, storm or other event beyond the reasonable control of either party. 16.9 The failure by the Seller to enforce any provision of these terms and conditions shall not be treated as a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the Seller’s right to subsequently enforce that provision. 16.10 All equipment and other items used in the manufacture of the Goods shall, in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, remain the exclusive property of the Seller notwithstanding any contribution by the Buyer in respect of the cost of their production, use or maintenance.
