New Rubber Suspension Bushings

[redrockrover]

Who and where do you recommend for all new rubber suspension bushings. I am going to remove my old crumbling rubber bushings and replace with new ones. I know rovers north has them any place less expensive that comes to mind? I want to tighten up my handling on road. Thanks!

I replaced mine with a polybush kit not as cheap as std landrover replacement items but well worth it, Road handling is much much better and they last longer than the metalized rubber bushes do

From what I have heard the poly bushings don't hold up well if you offroad, they don't like flexing nearly as much as the stock rubber bushings.

I would guess RDS or DAP would have the best prices on rubber bushings.

Thanks, I really want to keep the rubber because I want the flex off-road. I use the d-90 in the dirt and the street alot. I think the rubber offers the best of both worlds. Thanks

I have the orange poly bushes that RN sells and I think they are too hard. I will replace them with rubber when I get a chance.

Personal preference I guess, but then again my 90 is heavy with the winch bumper and diesel engine plus all the kit I carry. The rubber bushes didn't last five minutes particularly the front radius arm bushes

Outside of the UK, I haven't heard one good thing about poly...

Do you know anyone that has the original Polybush bushings in orange?

I see DAP has two versions of the rubber bush kits with and without hardware. Anyone have a say which one is the best choice...
thanks

Maybe you're torquing the nuts too tight? Are you squishing the bushings?

What kinda shocks you using? If you have the longer shocks I believe those are made for a LC and not a LR. At leasts that's what I heard.

The rubber bushings that look all shiny and painted don't last, the ones that look rough and crappy right out the box last a long time.
