ive been told if i replace them with poly bushes i want need that tool to put them in with .but thats wat ive been told and the poly bushes will last just as long but we will see :D
 
NEVER used any fancy tools to fit poly bushes in defender or discovery trailing arms??
 
nah you dont need special tool for polybushes some say they dont wear as well on the p38 but I have had polybushes on for 40k and no signs of wear
 
I did mine for Mot 2 or 3 months ago

they can be a pig to remove, we cut the bolts with a disc cutter and had to use the oxy kit to burn the old bushes out even using a press

The new poly ones fitted easy, bought split ones from famous four, fit in with soap and hardly needed the press to put them in

Good luck, make sure you do front and back

top tip take the arms off motor makes it a lot easier

Good luck
