I am replacing the bushes throughout and appreciate the need to make sure all front are completed as one before moving onto back rather than completing one side then the other.

I have done the radius arms and have fitted new SuperPro bushes. I am moving onto the Panhard Rod and as it was a bit worse for wear have just purchased a new one. It has come with original rubber bushed pre fitted. My question is this... can I just fit it as is and have a mix of SuperPro on the radius arms and rubber on the Panhard, or should I really press out the new rubber ones and fit SuperPro to match the radius arms? I already have the superPro ones bought so thats not an issue..... just seeing if I can save myself the effort of pressing out the rubber ones.

Cheers

It's fine to use the standard metalastic bush in the panhard with polybushes on the radius arms.

Like you say left and right sides should be matched to maintain handling. As panhard is a single item it doesn't have to match anything in reality so standard bushes will be fine.

I'm thinking of going Superpro too, I assume no real problems so far?

+1, you'll be fine

Cheers gents for the info..... Saves one job for now

Super Pro bushes have been fine to fit so far. I just used a big bolt through the cotton reel style radius bushes, nut and washers and then tightened it up, pulled it through into the radius arm no problem. Took about 20minutes to fit all 4, a vice would also work too.
