Hi, can anyone give me some idea why my rear lower shock rubbers on a 110 td5 5 door wear out about 3 months. Its a ex navy but doesn't seem to have any suspension mods

Ah, Britpart. Well, that explains why they only last about 5 mins. Try something a bit more expensive. I think I shall try some Superpro ones when mine need replacing.

Britpart ones last 3 months
Poly ones last 6 - 12 months
Genuine / OEM Rubber ones last 10 years
No-brainer for me.

polybushes takes five minutes to replace, but to use rubber ones you need a press

ok,but if they dont last very long,whats the point in keep replacing them.use the rubber ones and they will last years and years.
