You can get poly inserts that fit into the standard bush, I would not bother.

Yeah I'm aware of this type but going on what Screech has posted it would mean destroying a brand new set of standard bushes just to insert the poly ones as well. Pointless. If you're fitting poly inserts then you may as well just push them into the existing bush shells.

I've not seen that type before, only the poly ones that replace the entire rubber guts of the standard bushes retaining the outer metal casing.
Do theses ones even do anything and I also imagine these wouldn't even stay in place on older worn standard bushes.

Yeah they are well tight to get in they come with some lube,make the standard bush a bit more firm,i would never fit these to an old worn bush though :smiley:

You might as well fit the if you've got them and seeing as they don't really complicate the job much :smiley:
