bushes

kindwarf · Dec 11, 2010

Hi guys I have an on going problem on my 95 tdi the rear lower shock absourber bushes were out at an alarming rate my mot tester tells me the shockers are ok, but I put three sets of lower bushes in the last two years and used poly bushes about 8 month ago, had it on the ramp last week for a service and bugger me the poly bushes are showing about 1/2" of play up and down, they were tight when they were fitted and the nuts havn't come loose, any ideas I only drive it on road and muddy fields.

As I thought sheep, you cant...:doh:

google this subject folks - there's tons of threads out there about polys that last just a few months

very easy to fit, which is handy as you'll be changing them quite often

Yes google the subject, there is plenty info out there.
Make sure choose the correct hardness for your application.

My choice of manufacturer is Superflex.

Poly bushes are far superior to OEM

that'll do for a start

shame the BSer can't come up with something similar to illustrate his point

Peeps know how to google....
Stay away from ****part and you'll be fine, it's these that give the polybush a bad name.
As I said, Superflex have been good for me.
My Superflex have been on my LR since 1998. Mot's passed every time, that's 12 years fir fooks sake..
Was on the ramp last week and still looked as good as new!

great

still no chance of you sharing your wealth of knowledge about using engine oils as a legal fuel with the forum then ?

I've googled this and there FOOK ALL out there that supports your claims

I had to replace the rear shock absorber lower mountings on my 93 TDi when one snapped off and the other didn't look to great. The bushes fitted are OEM and they have been just perfect. Repair was carried out 18 months back.
