how hard?

squaddie_fox:
i would rather go with standard rubber bushes. a lot more flex for your money and wont rip off chassis mounts with some over-exuberant driving!

Range Rover Blues:
Polybushes have advantages but now that Blue is mostly an off-roader I'm taking some of them back off.  The panhard rod does well on Poly as you can swap them every 2 years for about a tenner.  Doing the radius arms will help control body roll but when I put them on my LSE I got horrible steering kickback, they can be too stiff.

clbarclay:
One of the problems I found with the deflex bushes was the crush tube, on bushes such as the panhard rod, was envariably too short. This ment it didn't clamp against the brakcet so in use the crush tube rotated around the bolt rather than the bush around the crush tube.
When I removed the panhard rob bushes (the were deflex), the bushes and the crush tube had stuck together. Rather ironically I ended up removing the crush tubes with a press.

Range Rover Blues:
Not a problem I've had and I use Deflex on the panhard rod.  I must admit I think they stuck to the tube, but it's easy enough to free them with simple tools.

Did yours not torque up then?

Reggieroo:
I was looking at getting some poly bushes as one of my next mods as my original bushes are shot.

I looked at the blue polybushes as there called the comfort kit, but also looked at the deflex as there half the price.
After reading this post I'm now in two minds what to do.

I use it on road a lot so don't want to lose anymore ride comfort but also use it off road as much as possible, mainly green lanes.

I've done most of the standard suspension upgrades so its seems poly bushes are the next obvious choice.
