Bush Kit Help

[Jonbouy]

can anyone recommend or know of a company that sells a standard bush kit front and back? I have found them for poly-bushes, but the recommendations seems to go for the originals and I cant find selling any kits

Hi Jon,

I've just sourced mine, so I'll try and remember to send over my list in the morning. I did go poly on the diff and ARB's though. My car is 97 4.2 and there are a few differences potentially...

Race tech tvr do, just email them. I went std apart from arbs and top diff mount.

That was the problem I had when doing mine...

There wasn't anything 'off-the-shelf' at the time, so ended up going for one of the 'Poly' kits for simplicity. However, Had I been able to source one, I'd do as the others have suggested and 'Poly' the diff mounts and ARBs.

What is the theory behind mixing it up between standard and poly bushes?

Do certain areas really benefit from poly bushes whereas others are best left as standard? If so, what is the recommend format?

Some bushes work far better with rubber properties over polybush properties.. ARB's are fine.. Diff mounts.. Erm.. More stress will be applied into the chassis mounts, and vibrations but they last longer.

That's essentially the logic I worked to... especially as the diff bushes are a bh arse job from hell to change!!!

For all the other components, I would much rather use rubber but as they're fairly easy to get to, I can replace them as & when.
