    The car in question is far from factory. Bull bar, winch, spotties etc etc. Hence the want for the uprated bushes.

    I would doubt that many dealership's have these "special" tools.

    Yeah sure , I did the whole job at home if you don't have a press someone near by will be able to press them back in for you. I'd rebush as spares I did a whole thread with photos on changing bushes in a d4 I think it got moved to tutorials section. Hardest part is getting old bush out but if you follow my instructions you won't have a hassle

    [QUOTE=Nomad9;2452334]Hi Eddy,
    The ride is shocking, I replaced my Polybush bushes with originals about three months after I had installed them. Easy to fit etc however the down side is the harshness of the ride and road noise.

    Marty,Were they the solid bushes or the blue 'splined' Super Pro bushes?

    Go stock bushes so many posts on here saying how bad the poly ones are, I work on heavy vehicles and don't put them in as an upgrade unless the manufacturer does , the bushes from Lr are hydro elastic tombie gives a good explanation in one of the threads.

    The RRS ones are different from the D3 bushes.
    The RRS bushes from what I have read are a heavy duty jobbie for the armoured D3, to deal with the extra weight.

    Yep but presumably RRS bushes are heavy duty hydrolastic rather than solid poly. Explanation of hydrolastic versus poly in this thread:

    I'm not sure if that's the bushes or the actual control arms that are heavier duty? Les Richmond quoted me $700 to swap the arms using their solid rubber bushes, and then stung me for $1500 cos of the RRS arms being different and their bushes not fitting.

    Incidentally they didn't give me back the old arms, saying they're basically a worthless throwaway item. So if anyone's looking to upgrade...
