Title: polysport bushes
Post by: paultownsend on 16 April 2007, 23:10

has anyone used the polysport bushes from rally design? they look a good price.  and the age old question.  poly's on the rear swing arm? do they really cause a problem? its just i know i can fit the split desigh poly myself. and would not rather pay a garage a fortune to take off the beam and press some in!

My garge guys said he would hate to replace it unless necessry, but the split design the polys offered was a big bonus when they do need changing. rear beam needs to come off basically!

yep I've got em on my MK2. Only problem was I had to grind down the slieve for the front wishbone bush before it would fit on the car!  Oh and when fitting the ARB bushes, if they go a funny shape you've overtightened them :grin:

As for the beam mounts it depends who you ask, some say that you should always go genuine, but others have their cars on the track regularly and swear by polys.

If you go genuine they need pressing in at a garage, if you go poly its reasonably easy to fit em DIY.  If you're canny its possble to do the job without splitting the brake lines too!
