Fitting poly trailing arm bushes is a very bad idea. They tend to slip in the mounts, meaning they don't offer the resistive tension that the rubber ones do. They offer no advantage, and considerable downsides compared to the standard bushes.

Superflex.co.uk easy to fit and no nonsense as some would have you believe.
