Paul F Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Can anyone briefly talk me through the benefits of fitting a set of Polybushes? It's looks like something around £100 for a kit for my Escort. It's a mk2 with roughly 170bhp engine, english axle with single leaf springs, tramp bars, panhard rod, 2.8 Bilsteins at the front, lowered by 2"... Will I see a marked improvement worth the cost with the modifications I have already made. Only going to be used for the road and maybe the occasional track day/Santa Pod. Thanks
antz Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 they are harder than standard bushes but still allow some moement. itll tighten the whole steering up and although the ride MAY be slightly tougher it will handle better and be more precise than soggy old rubber bushes. im tempted to polybush my daily hack
vibrating_Cake Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 they ruuule, well worth the cash! in my opinion anyways
escortwithsunroof Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 imo there well worht the money, rubber bushes are just crap tightened up the rat wagon and the mk2 no end
Retro-gone. Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 ive fitted new rubber bushes to all front movables and its good enough for me.. i just have a shovel in ma boot to dig myself out of ditches
bomber1 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 its just tightend up the arse end on my zodiac its always worth it http://www.superflex.co.uk/contact.php
Retro-gone. Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 im just worried it will make my ride too bumpy and rattly cos i hate that..
bomber1 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 im just worried it will make my ride too bumpy and rattly cos i hate that.. na just about right with superflex bushes
Retro-gone. Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 is it true that you can but cheapo ones that arnt as good as the more expensive ones? cant remember who told me but it sounds logical?
flyingbanana Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 defiantly makes a difference ...worth the money....i went for superflex ones....not after market ones
lazy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 don't forget there not perishable. where rubber ones crack and get soggy poly bushes don't an essential upgrade
lead foot Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 just put a set on my tina, so i am hoping when i finish it i will be pleased with the difference
zimbabweanford Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I fitted them to both my old Mk2 RS2000 and my 1600sport and deinitely makes a huge difference especially on track and still used them everyday without it being to bumpy or noisey
