Hi people
long time not write my monaro is running like a dream been to Hockenheim and Dijon so far this year with spa Zolder and lemans to come
i've picked a small knock from the rear top left damper mount worn and perished
so the question is to poly bush or not to poly bush
i dont drive hard or fast just long motorway cruising will poly bushes make the car to hard and uncomfortable i favour poly all round i think
your comments would be appreciated and recommendation for supplier i can fit them myself
thanks in advance

I'm not a polybush fan, preferring to replace with new standard bushes, but most on here will tell you it's the best thing you can do - and they are probably right, as my experience comes from 20 years ago, when polybushes were rock hard, or only lasted 5 minutes.
With regard to where from, I think the only answers will be Monkfish or Walkinshaw as they hold stocks of parts for our cars.

I've polybushed a few cars in the past and regretted it.
Ultimately it depends on the car and what you like. Sometimes polybushing results in so much more noise being transmitted into the cabin - especially if you have done the subframe and diff.
I've found a good compromise to be Whiteline bushes. I have them in my Nissan, and they do a full range for the Monaro.
Clark Motorsport are a dealer, and Ewen is always easy to deal with.

The latest Nolathane stuff claims to be a new softer material.Ultimately it depends on the car and what you like. Sometimes polybushing results in so much more noise being transmitted into the cabin - especially if you have done the subframe and diff.

Yes its harsher but what do you want, boat or bike?
Just bushed the front of my CV8 to include ARB bushes and drop link bushes whilst installing the quick rack. Its not harsh at all but 10 times better feel than rubbishy stock stuff. Oh and you can give it a bit more castor too.
I'd say just do it.
