Deflex Polyurethane Bushes

(1/4) > >>

enak:
I fitted a set of Deflex Polyurethane Bushes a short while ago... Don't use these!

The left radius arm bush failed causing excessive tyre wear.

A panhard bush has failed and now I have slop from axle to chassis.

The rear suspension cone bushes couldn't be fitted (Too big).

The other suspension bushes are poorly shaped and I removed them and refitted the rubber bushes (much better).

I now have a Polybush comfort set to fit... lets hope these are better.

Range Rover Blues:
That's odd, I've fitted Deflex to 2 of our Range Rovers and I'm quite happy with the results.  I went to the trouble of changing the Panhard Rod on Blue just to check and after 18 months of frequent use there were no signs of any deterioration.

So, so you drive in harch conditions a lot, or have you perhaps been unlucky :?

Range Rover Blues:
I've just noticed, you have a 4.2 LSE don't you? then I wouldn't suggest anything other than standard metaliastic bushes for that anyway.  On that late a model they should be the twin core type, these are much stiffer.

enak:
Not harsh conditions by any means...

I can't refit standard bushes at the moment as I have neither another car to use or my own press... The Polyurethane bushes just push in, so it's something I can fit.

Considering the OEM bushes had been on there some time and the Deflex were offering superior ride and handling, I am disappointed I even bothered trying them...

jjsaul:
i bought some for mine (last summer!) but havnt got round to fitting them yet   :roll:
