Thread: heavy duty rear control arm bushes

Have a chat with Slunnie here on the forum. He is in the know regarding lifts and the like.

Will.

I just use factory rubber ones. SuperPro poly ones are meant to be good but I haven't tried them.

Keen to hear what you think. I think there are two specs, a standard and a comp spec, I'm guessing the comp spec is a softer grade of poly rubber for better articulation.

Hm would I be right that the softer one would require a more often replacement?

hm also spoke to Andrew from LRA and he said he has never seen them wear out and would not use poly bushes in anything and recommended LR originals.

Would be nice to hear from someone who actually has used the bushes otherwise I probably go with the original Land Rover bushes. if they then again fail within the next two years will try the poly bushes.

I spoke to the manufacturer and they offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. The extreme use bushes are made from a harder compound and are even more robust.

I just have no clue how this would affect drivability of the car?

Andrew probably needs to look at more lifted and offloaded D2's! Mine have always torn around the crush tubes in the centre of the bush.

yes that's exactly where my is torn, you would think as the makers of the lift
they would come accross enough "lifted" D2 will see whether I can still go for the poly bushes and give them ago, would you go comp specs which are even a harder compound?
