I'm erring towards buying new rubber bushes instead of poly items to replace my aged, worn out old upper arm bushes based on a couple of things. firstly- I have been told by a few that the poly bushes on the front upper arms don't last so well? And secondly- they are quite a bit harsher and transmit more road noise? Also was told that because the poly items are not bonded that they don't have the same spring/ rebound effect that the original items have when the bolts are done up tight at ride height.
Who has experience with them? I like nice handling but don't want a noisier car. Is this a bit having my cake and eating it too?
can the club get the remanufactured rubber items and if so how much for members? I have had a quote for some at £79 for four. Seems a bit pricey? If they are considerably cheaper through the club then I can use the discount to pay towards joining
