Poly bush kits?

(1/3) > >>

Landy Andy:
Want to do all the bushes on my 04 Reg Defender TD5, it has covered 95 thou miles and is used off road a far bit so think it's time.

I am thinking of poly bushes as they can be changed at home with out need of a press. I use my Def as my daily drive van and is always loaded.

Any suggestions?

I would go for the blue polybushes.
I regularly have a fully loaded truck, tow trailers and go off road.
I think they are the best ones i have had, better than the red or orange ones.

Hope it helps

The only bushes I supply and use are SuperPro.  Slightly more expensive than some other brands but IMHO worth the extra money.

You don't need a press to fit them.. but it does make life easier (or a vice will do)... not because they require force to fit - just easier than trying to press them in by hand.

Except that you may need a press to get some of the old ones out!

ChrisV8:
Agree with Porny Superpro are the only ones worth fitting, definitely you get what you pay for, I have heard of many instances of shocker eyes being torn off using cheap Polybushes.
