Best poly bush set.

After finding my rad arm bushes have gone am going down the polybush rute. So what's the best value for money? Britpart do cheep sets but will they be buggerd in no time? I do a lot of laning and occasional pay n play days.

Cheers for any help/advise

I bought a set of bearmach ones from fleebay and theyve held up well over 6 months.

I know thats not long but i do alot of laning in north wales so its not your gentle potter down a gravel track.

Im happy with mine. There is companys like flo-flex and a coupe of others but have you seen the prices?

Yeah there silly priced and I don't need a bank loan just for them, just don't wonna spend less an have to replace them every two mins, how much did ya pay for em? What's reasonable you recon? £100 for lot or more?

Id have said about £80-£100 is reasonable.

Mine were bought on fleabay like i said from a chap who bought them but didnt use them.

If its not desperate then wait till a set comes up cheap.

Really quite easy, lift up body then lift up axle so its not under weight. Then take off the big nut. Change bush and reverse process. i think

Im sure someone told me i didnt need to lift body and axle. They didnt tell me until afterwards though! im no mechanic either so i would consult a haynes manual or summit.

unfortunate its not your trailing arms as ive just bought some new ones that came with bushes and there quite new i think. You could have had em.

Good luck.

Oh, would it be worth just doing the radius arms and waiting for a kit at a reasonable price to come up for sale? rather than buying an expensive kit?

you might struggle callum, yr tool kit only consists of an adjustable spanner and a toffee hammer.. lol..

if ya do em sat i may come give ya hand if ya like? be good practice, then i will be an expert when it comes to doin mine..

Cheers for the link mate, there cheeper than britpart ones.

Anyone know what flow flex are like?

Rubbish.

Go with SuperPro

G

I have flo flex and had no problems and made a huge improvement from standard.
Easy to fit aswell as they are in two parts. The Britpart ones are bearmach and are cu**s to fit and slightly split on fitment!

I was looking at the britpart ones but saw a few bad write ups so when i saw these i thought i would try them

Thanks for advise, are britpart ones ****e then? Will probably go with flo flex as there's not much in price with that link.

Flo-flex are good!!! Much better than ****part
