Deflex Polyurethane Bushes

<< < (3/4) > >>

Have orange polybushes on mine, told they were a year old whenI bought it, ( February), rear trailing arm bushes are shot! Steering goes off to the left when accelerating, and turns right when you back off.

So it sounds like I should stick with genuine land rover replacement bushes! I was going to go for polybushes but by the sounds of what your all saying Genuine might be better?

Can i stick my oar in here,although i ve got to be very carful what i say due to my wk position...


Ive used my tuck for everyting from work to touring, trialling and challenge events.. My local supplier a few years ago supplied me with a set of De-flex (no called flo-flex as they went bust a little while ago)...

The de-flex bushes lasted for just under 2 month when they failed the MOT.. My supplier then suppled us with three more sets of varying hardness to try and amend this..  Unfortunatly they were c***... If you cut one in half you will see that they are full of air holes, so all in all not a good buy...

Next i tried the Bearmach bushes, which were a fair bit more expensive, these were excellent on the road and never had  anyproblems with them, but after a while we found that they were too hard to work with our suspesion system, so in the end we went for classic 'genuine' polybushes, which have been on the vehicle for a year and been excellent...

So all in all if you can afford proper Polybush go for that, if not get the B'mach ones..  In the end you get what you pay for i spose   :wink:

kjj0506:
I am wondering if there are certain areas of the chassis that will respond better to the durometer of a particular bushing. For instance, a softer bushing ( OE LR ) on the arms and a poly for the panhard? Just for example and sake of speculation. I am fitting 95 Sway bars with disconnects to my 90. I will use firmer bushes for them so when on road and hooked up it will be better to drive. Yet I am using factory bushes on the arm/chassis points for flex when disconnected. I may find that I screw everything up but I am going to Try to dial it in this way ..and see what happens .

Range Rover Blues:
That's effectively what I'm doing as and when the weather permits.  Rubber is better at the top of the Radius arms and rear links if you want lots of articulation, as ire the original ninety radius arm to axle bushes as these are softer than the EFi spec ones, so I'm going back to rubber on the rad arms but keeping poly on the back end and the panhard rod so I get good handling.
