Hi everyone

I'm going through the paces of future proofing my P38 , I'm getting mixed information about poly bushes .

Is this worth doing ?

Cheers

Your choice, but there will always be mixed views on them. You'll never get 100% aligned views....

There have been people here that find them fine. Others have gone to the arduous task of changing all for polys, only then to revert them all to standard due to issues.
Changing them out merely for the sake of it I would say not worth it. If bushes need changing anyway then up to you, worst case is you’ll do it twice.

I put blue boxed ones on. It was better than the knackered oem ones i took off

The poly go in easier but if you get grit in there they can wear away. Some people find the handling crisper but slightly harsher ride. Rubber are harder to get in without the taper tool and press. Seeing as the originals lasted over 15 years I figured they were probably worth sticking with.

Good advice, il most likely stick with standard ones
