More flex than stock...
or are they just easier to install?

Hi everyone,

I installed a complete set of polybush blues all around my disco I.

In fact, you can mount them by hand :-)

But to remove the old ones : hello press !

The polybush blues have the advantage of being nearly as soft as stock rubber, but are more resistant to oil and as I said above easier to fit and remove.

Finally, I did not find any difference in flex before and after : Just what I felt.

I had found a website once of someone listing the different bushes, from soft to hard.
I think the order was something like :
stock rubber, polybush blue, polybush red, OME, Ironman ...

But many people agree that they are (the blue ones of course, not the red) a good stock replacement.

Regards

Erik.

i have them, and they are great, they last much longer than the rubbers, and you do not feel the harshness of the stiffer bushes...as far as articulation is concerned, I have no problem with them...i doubt they hinder or benifit the subject
