Re: Poly bushes?

just replace for new, people replace knackered old bushes for poly and think they are the greatest, new is fine and a hell of a lot cheaper.

just replace your whole wishbones and arb bushes and odds on it will be 100% better.

Plenty of talk of not running standard shocks its not ideal but they will still be fine, it tends to wear them out more than they run out of travel.

Even if the springs are solid it should still move, if it doesn't it does sound like its bent.
