Oh behave, my bushings I mean. This is less than six months on an OME poly bushing: Poly Mush Not quite what I expected for $50+. Reminds me of a freshly salted slug. Rubber will be back where it belongs this weekend.

That sucks! A while back I tried to order some OME polybushes from Rovers North and they didn't sell them anymore becuase of problems. I have a blue Polybush kit waiting to be put on, maybe this set is a better brand, but I am now having second thoughts. |

I just put a set of Red Polybush on my '93. But it looks like the washer on that side was smaller in dia. than the bush. On the Polys, the washer was slight larger in dia. giving better support to the entire bushing. At least I hope so as mine have only been on for about 2K kms. |

I used the washer that came with the OME bushings. It seemed to be the same diameter as the bushing when it was new. To be fair, I hadn't noticed any destruction prior to installing the Scorpion lowered shock mounts. I think the extra droop was just too much for the poor bushing and the washer flipped it inside out. Eddie, I emailed you. |

Have blue polybushes on my 93 - zero problems and no signs of anything about to happen after 10K miles. Very tight steering feel. |
