Provided they are installed properly, and the bolts are never allowed to come loose - a very long time. I have fitted two sets in over 400,000km. But the slightest movement on the bolts, or poor installation - they could last only a few thousand.

What options are there for panhard bushes? rubber Vs poly? any preference out of the two if you can in fact get both?
I'm pretty certain both are available. Poly bushes are easier to install (but the main problem is likely to be getting the old ones out), and the traditionally stiffer red may give slightly sharper steering, but in my view there would be little to choose in this application.Quote:

I rang Andrew Richmond (known as Rangie Spares back then) for advice.
He told me it would be the steering damper, so I went to the land rover joint in Box Hill (Melb) and they sold me a cheapie.
This made the problem worse. I then re rang Andrew Richmond and he still assured me it was the steering damper and to use a good quality one. He has had so many people skeptical about this that he had a loaner you could borrow to prove his point. I drove over and fitted it out the front and Bingo, problem fixed. The brand was Bilstein whom he was a big fan of.
So I purchased a new Bilstein damper and when I sold the car ten years later I had never encounted the problem again.
