Thread: Poly-Bushes in Disco 2

I have been told they give a harsher ride.

I will sit and watch for the results as i'd like to know too, maybe some on here have tried them.

Baz.

Which bushes specifically?

The only ones that I wouldn't replace with poly are the ones in the radius arms as they will limit articulation, especially the ones at the axle end. The rest should be fine.

No right or wrong here - just personal taste/opinion.

I had poly everything on my last Defender - and it was harsh.

This time around I've kept to rubber - and a good result. I know I'm referring to a Defender but I can't see how the end-result would be much different. Anyway, like I said - personal opinion.

Got poly bushes all round on a Defender they're fine no problems as Barra1 says personal choice price is about the same

Thanks to all of you for the feedback. Depending on what follows I may just stick with rubber, since at my age, more comfort is attractive.

Cheers,

Terry

I notice there are different grades of poly bushes too, check out some of the common landy mags and you'll see them advertised. Blue I think was softer.
A well known aftermarket parts supplier in Perth advised me against them more than once, and he was selling them himself...

I think that says it all as far I'm concerned - that's me, I guess. All you young blokes - fit poly's

generally speaking if you want good all round performance stick to OE rubber bushes, most poly ones use a harder durometer material except Super Pro, who are smart and select the appropriate durometer and design for each application.

BTW, colour between brands means nothing just depends which dye they threw in the pot at the time.
