TBH I've not had any probs with my deflex bushes. They've been on 3 years and about 9000 road and off-road miles. Have used polybush in the past and would recommend them (I didn't have enough money for polybushes when I put the deflex on).

I've made several post with pictures on this forum before (search function ;)) about delfex bushes on (and off) both mine and friends trucks. I suppsoe it depends what you are expecting, if you were expecting something like a Poly Bush or Super Pro then you will not be satisfied. Deflex bushes will hold the axles in place thought I found they; significantly reduced articultation, didn't fit well (some crush tubes too short and others deformed), didn't look nice up close (air holes in the plastic) and the delfex bushes for the top of the rear dampers would be more appropriate on a clown car as they were way to big to fit. A friend did manage to get these on with the later mount which held the bush with a nut rather than split pin, but the result was the top of the dampers got ripped rather quickly off the first time he used them off road.

im just in the process of fitting this kit and i had no instructions or part numbers to notify me of what bushes are for what etc..

Some seem a little to large for where they have to go so ill have to fightwiththem tomorrow and try to get them to fit.
