russ3120 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I am about to change all the suspenion bushes, what do the learned forum members recommend? the bushes are for a disco 1 that is mainly a mud toy/laner, Quote
JST Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 i hear Super Pro are quite good i run Bearmach blue ploy ones at £70 for a complete set they seem ideal for comfort (!) and articulation on my Challenge Truck. having said that std bushes are also very good just harder to change! Quote
landrover598 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I vote for genuine LR metalastics. Quote
russ3120 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 lack of a press or vice, leads me towards poly, just for the ease of changing them Quote
honitonhobbit Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 SuperPro every time and that won't be very often Quote
V8 Freak Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 You will need to press or cut some out. I've gone Superpro on my 110. Great on road performance. I'm not by any means an accomplished driver off-road so not looking for great articulation but others have suggested they don't last as long when used off-road or at winch events. Mine not been in long so can't talk about longevity yet.... Neil Quote

Total Poo! Any company that offers a three year warrantee on thier product when used in off road compatition must have some faith... Quote

Neil I too will advocate the excellent performance of Superpro, we have them everywhere on our wolf, there is only one location that is still Land Rover genuine bushes, (as superpro don't make one yet) and it just doesn't stand up to what we are putting it through compared to the superpro stuff, we have had to replace it already. We have so far driven 30000 miles on them, about 1/3 that can be said to be off road/ bad roads. There doesn't really seem to be any need to replace the superpro bushes yet. Hope this helps, Nick Quote
BogMonster Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 genuine for me don't bother with non genuine copies of genuine rubber ones they aren't worth the hassle, last weeks or sometimes even days, best/worst record of mine is a set of shocker bushes in about 150 miles of which only 10 were off road!

GBMUD Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Talking to Anton at OEC the other day, they have SuperPro bushes on (very) special offer at the moment. So good that even I intend to get a set. Chris Quote

Roverdrive Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Had genuine polybush on mine for 3 years on road, and trials events. No signs of needing replacement. Quote
ciderman Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I have used , Poly bush red and blue also deflex bushes and none of them lasted a whole season infact the polys lasted two events IIRC , so I went back to standard metalastics , which are fine , I now have a set of Super-pro bushes from Anton at Oec international and they look a lot better quality than all he others on the current market , So hey ho I wil give em a go .

V8 Freak Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 There you go... I told you I wasn't qualified, but others surely are.... Superpro it is ! Quote
