Having just renewed my rfl, you can imagine my joy to discover this :



Potholes on the motorway have mullered this bush beyond the laws of physics.

Potholes - the best form of indirect taxation ever invented.
Politicians - f Censored k all y'all.

At least I know what I'll be doing tomorrow Shocked

Standard at this point miggit, but I will be looking at Polybushing everything in sight maybe later this year, just hope it wouldn't lose a bit of the magic carpet ride ! But I'd trade that for durability Thumbs Up

I believe that the blue bushes ride nearer to standard than the orange, I never really noticed any change to the ride of my old company Landcruiser when it had polybushes fitted, other than it stopped wandering all over the road Shocked Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Rosco, you need a Sikorsky airlift to get out of some of the canyons around here ...

IMHO Polybushes are a total waste of money, standard original bushes ALWAYS outlast them by a long, long way.

Believe me I have tried all the different types over the years, go on most off road forums where people use their 4x4's in a more demanding way and you will find that no one uses them any more....

If you want better roadholding for your saloon or sports car then they will be fine as they are mostly harder than the original rubber but for big heavy 4x4's they are a waste of time....

Cheap pattern bushes are also a false economy... just fit genuine and be done with it... Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Pete

Probably easier to replace the arm, what with the labour involved in pressing it out and putting the new one in There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks Pete, duly noted, I reckon yours get a good workout... Shocked

NMJ, I didn't fancy pressing in bushes either, so I'm replacing the arms.
