    I've used poly bushes before, but went back to originals as I think the ride is better. And contrary to varied opinions, I've found the rubber ones last longer.

    I am trying polybushes in the rear eye of the front springs at the moment, have not really had them long enough to comment on them, - no noticeable difference, but we will see how they go long term.

    I switched to poly bushes over 10 years ago on the IIA. No difference in ride/flex that I could notice. The bushes I got were reasonably soft. Only reason I switched was ease of removal/refit.

    I think I have replaced 2 poly bushes in that time.

    If you've got a mig and all you have left of the bush is the outer metal piece. Run a weld (or three) on the remaining metal piece and it will loosen it. Your old fashioned suspension spring compresors make a good puller.
