Hi does any one know witch is the best bush kit to use on a discovery mk 1?  I only use it on the road not much off road same times my be. only radius arm bushes have gone so thought may as well do the Lot and be done with. polyurethane kits are on the market in virus colours yellow
,red, black but not sure witch ones to use.

ChrisV8:
You get what you pay for with poly bushes, personally I would use Superpro, you shouldn't need any others then ! I have them on the old RR gets lots of abuse has towed a lot but the bushes are as good as new.

But in your case may well be worth fitting OEM rubber ones if it's only the radius arm joints, poly ones are easier to fit.

crazymac:
Your poll makes no sense mate??

You also have to ask yourself, how old is your vehicle? There is a fair chance that what is on there is original so they have lasted very well!! So to just replace all for the sake of it seems a bit much in my mind?

I would just replace the radius arm bushes with original fitment ones.

mcb:
think i will just fit the original ones for now  thanks for your help cheers mcb

If you fit poly bushges to the radius arms you will get more less body roll in tight coners, or less articulation, depending on how you look at it.  You also get more road noise and bump-thump through the floor.

The EFi RRC had a stiffer bush that you can fit as an upgfrade to early carb RRC, when the ARB were introduced I'm told LR went back to fitting the softer bushes to reduce road noise.
