Hi all, are the rear most bushes in the radius arm a different construction from the front bush ? I'm replacing mine & the front bush is the usual metalastic jobbie whilst the rear two seem to have plastic on the o/s of the bush, see pics (I've only removed the front one at the moment),
Thanks in advance.

I've now replaced the front (smaller) bushes on the rear r/arms with polybushes, think the old ones had seen better days ! Cobbled together a 'tool' to insert them.

Certainly got your moneys worth out of those!
😂 😂 I think new original owner did.I'm the second & have done about 16,000 in just under 3yrs.
Wire brushed & given a coat of Vactan, I'll the spray it with Halfords truck bed spray (bloody good stuff) & hopefully refit this afternoon 🤞.I must admit the bolts, considering they've done 180,000 miles, are in great nick so someone at LR got something right in this particular case:).
