which polybush kit,

(1/2) > >>

muddymart:
Im looking round for a kit for the disco,

should i go for a polybush kit, or a deflex kit,
are they the same?


i will be fitting the lift kit at the same time, so i will get it all done at once.

clbarclay:
I HAD deflex on the V8, they are cheap and stiff (which I hadn't appreciated when I bought them). If I wanted that then I would have just got some viagra in stead. The V8 has since gone back to rubber bushes.

The Polybush blue (comfort) under the VM are much better quality just to look at and have some give in them, I still need to get it on the ramp to compare the flex to the rubber bushes on the V8. The Polybushes have been on the VM for quite a few years mixed use now, with no problams at all.


With a few simple tools changing a metalastic bush is not difficult and rubber bushes like those between chassis and radius arm (RRC/defender/disco 1) are if anything easier to change than polybushes.

Steve ray:
Mate of mine ran the cheaper Deflex bushes - hated em & 'chewed' em very quickly off road.

Got blue pollys fitted to mine (he has too now) - really pleased with 'em, esp as Disco is lifted and gets 'used n abused' at least 3 weekends out of 4 per month  :twisted:

davidlandy:
got orange polybushes (after bad experiences with blue deflex) - front end ones last no length of time at all - these being the lower radius arm and panhard rod ones.  the only good thing about them is that they are easy to change.

if the standard LR ones where as easy to change i would use those instead.

peasey:
i have got the full orange polybush kit on mine and it totally transformed the ride seemed to be stiffer in the corners but not overly hard on the flat one of the best upgrades i have done and i still am very happy with it
