Polybush Advice - Discovery 1 Axles To Defender Chassis

SPLRover · Nov 29, 2023

Hi All,

Looking at fitting polyurethane bush kit to a 90 rebuild. I'm fitting Discovery 1 axles to a new Defender 200 TDI MAER chassis.

Will the Discovery 1 kit in the link below be suitable or do I need to buy a Defender bush kit (if they are different)?

The front trailing arm bushes are wider on the discovery iirc (where they bolt onto the axle) measure them to be sure.

Take it you will be fitting what you have in pic, at least the axle and the radius arms.
If so Disco kit is what you need.

What is the intended use of the vehicle?

Personally I would opt for these:

You can choose the grade you want depending on use.

The Super Pro bushes are also meant to be good.

The above recommended bush kit will not suit.
Discovery axles have wider brackets for the Discovery radius arms [ which he has ] so disco set is what is needed.

Depends which arms he is using. Polybush sell lots of kits, they only need to click on the Menu and select the vehicle they want to buy for.

He has the Discovery radius arms in pic above.
