Poly Bushings in Control Arms

So what do you reckon leave the bushes in Baz?? It's just that if I have the arms sitting in the garage I should just take the Superpro's out.

I'd suggest looking at a D3/4/RRS under full offroad flex and see the movement it has.

Then ask yourself how can a solid bush perform like that?

It can't. Rubber, urethane or other...

So besides loading the mounting points it has to be reducing offroad flex / capability to a degree.

Hi Baz,
I did warn you..............I had them in for six months and then got rid of them, I had the red Polybush ones from the UK.

I would, no point in wasting good money and if your top arms have rubber bushes, they may help with the harshness.

Are the ones in the garage a spare set for next time? or are they going in because your currant ones are stuffed?

Depends... Cost Benefit Analysis:- Is a smooth ride for the next 80,000km worth more or less than the price of hydrobushes :cool:

It is if the cost of the Poly bushes + the cost of the rubber bushes + fitting is over $1000, which it would be if fitting is involved and he's not doing it himself.

Believe me I'm not disagreeing with the cost...

I'm just suggesting cost vs willingness to put up with the ride / performance will be the deciding factor...

As an indication... Should people want to change to OEM

Complete arm assemblies are $200.00 a side with the factory bushes and ball joint...
