Poly Bushes for a Grand Cherokee

[pcn1]

The guy who runs the 4playjeeps web site seems to rate the superpro poly bushes he sells for the Grand cherokee WJ.
Does anyone here have experince of using them ? Ive got the uprated Addco rear sway bar, but would be interested if the side to side wobble could be trimmed out a bit more !

Thanks

Did you have a nice long conversation?

Believe what he says, I've had the rear lower trailing arm kit off him and it transformed the handling.


Oh, and sorry for not responding to your last email - keep meaning to but keep getting distracted

After an extensive chat Ive bought the rear trailing arm kit as well.
I'll let you know how it works out later !

Been a bit lazy of late.
But will get them fitted next week. Let you know how it goes after.

So I finally started the install at the weekend. All going well until I "burned" out one of the old bushes and found the bush shell (which you need to reuse) has a small rust hole. The others had pitting to some degree. Going to have to buy a replacement cheapo bush with shell from fleabay, and press that in the arm, burn that rubber out and fit the superpro.
Ah we'll, I need to sort he leaking diff oil seal while its laid up anyway...........

Finally got the job done ( with the rear wheel bearing / oil seal ) and after a quick test drive there seems to be a slight "tightening" of the rear end, a slight reduction in wobble.
I have no experience of owning other 4 x4' s so can't say if it's better worse than others. But I'm reasonably happy !

Bumping an old thread - how have they lasted ?

Yes the years have flown by....... and the jeep still seems to drive well, Ive not had to look at the rear bushes since fitted about 30K mile ago.
It defo improves the Jeeps road manners, you can throw it around a mini roundabout and it'll stay quit level.
In hindsight, the only disapointment Ive had with regards to suspension was fitting the Bilstein shocks, personnaly I think there too stiff and I can feel the road bumps more than the old stock shocks.
