Morning All

Before i start searching, anyone knows where the best place for HD bushs to fit the cranked rear arms on the Hybrid, Looks like 7 Sisters finishes them off, a bit too much play now on the axel ends !! sad.gif

Thanks all
JST
i use Bearmach blue, easy to fit, quite cheap and lasted well (so far)

SuperPro - last longer and get more flex

OEC do them but Richard Fearn www.superpro.eu (or some such is only at Westonzoyland/Middlezoy

If you ask him nicely then he may sell you some of his new design front ones as well...

I have been told that Superpro make bearmach bushes, not sure if it is correct. I use superpro and they are fine from Specialist Leisure.

I had a chat with the 'man from SuperPro' about it about two weeks ago.

Interesting response - I will leave you to decide

Take a set of Bearmach bushes with you though blink.gif

What makes these better than the orig Polibush (in whatever colour) or even OEM for some applications?
white90
easy to fit I guess?
I just use standard genuine L/R ones all round now after my supply of slotted ones ran dry sad.gif
LR90
Are the superpro easier to fit than polybush? I assume(?) all polybush like bushes are easier to fit than OEM.

Sam's still got slotted bushes hasn't he?
white90
Sam is too busy building rock crawling buggies at present to do any more bushes.
he told me he had some modifications (in the compound) for the next sets
LR90
Could be timely thought my current set have been holding up very well.

On the polybush Q and back OT I also am looking at replacing worn rear trailing arm bushes (currently red polys as best I can tell). OEM is a strong fav for these (but harder to fit), alternatively I was considering blue polys but should I be considering bearmarch or superpro?

Tim did you see Simon's comment, in the link DD posted, on Wolf bushes for the rear radius arms being tougher. May be worth trying these.

I've seen a number of comments on using polybushes on the rear radius arms that other than 'Comfort' ones they tend to reduce flex as they are significantly harder than LR OEM ones. Might be worth giving the Wolf ones a go.

Cheers

Mm, going to pull the arms off, and pop over to superPro, as i guess i have 110 rear arm (sal axle) etc

also got to replace the 3 link arm rose joints, !!
Mark90
My understanding is that Simon uses the Wolf bushes on the chassis end only, and it's the axle end that Tim's replacing, but if it is chassis end to then it might be worth going the wolf ones ago.

Tim 110 rear arms are no different to 90/RRC/Disco ones.
