Hi Guys . Looking for your opinions on polybushing i have a TD5 i do a lot of heavy towing {car trailer} with it & some off roading just when i go shooting {tracks & fields} nothing major so what do you think about polybushing good or bad ???????????????????????

For replacing A frame bushes, good cos they're two part so you wont need a hydraulic press to replace em. Having said that how often do you replace them.........

I get the impression that replacing the standard bushes with polybushes is only done for aesthetics.
They can I believe, especially the orange ones make the ride harsh.

Some say they make cornering and steering sharper..........
I think WTF planet are they on.
If you want a car that "handles" get a bl**dy sportscar you chav.

Hope that helps

To be honest I would say that it's unnecessary, just go with std LR bushes, they last ages anyway.

whats wrong with making you car handle better and therefore safer, fit poly bushes the type in two halves not cotton reel type as you dont need press to fit ,ive fitted the britpart yellow bushes as they come in complete kit on mine years ago, still good,new bushes are allways better than old ones ,
