Yes I used standard bushes on the front as found in the past when I fitted polly bushes to a previous car it was not nice to drive
So change back to standard rubber

Yes likewise having used poly on the front on a previous Wedge I swapped back to rubber bushes on the front and the ride was much nicer. I tried everywhere and couldn't find original rubber bushes so all three of my |Wedges have had poly bushes on the back end.

I was looking to go back to standard rubber bushes on the front suspension. Looking around it seems you can either choose from quality parts that have been sat around for a long time (maybe too long) or aftermarket parts of which it's difficult to tell what the quality is like. In the end I decided on the Superpro bushes which seemed like a good compromise. Not fitted them yet but as I currently have solid nylon bushes fitted anything is going to give a better ride!!

Think I will try some copy parts, for the amount of use it will get, they should last a few years.
