Poly bushes are special parts and therefore the part numbers will probably be specific to the company you buy them from.

Std bushes will be part numbered though.

Hi there, sorry to highjack the thread, but do poly bushes actually make much difference from the standard ones. a friend of mine told me that it is one of the best mods you could do to an old car in terms of improving the handling, but looking at the prices of a full kit for my car, your talking about Ԛ£200+. i dont mind spending that kind of money, if it is going to be money well spent...
Cheers, Guy.

They do make a diffrence because they flex less than rubber ones.

Depends what your looking to do with your car in my opinion. If its a track car then yes the bushes make a difference. Its one of a number of mods which can tighten up the handling of your car. I wouldnt however say that the poly bushes on their own will transform your car.

It depends how worn your old bushes are

Thats true but my comment was that POLY bushes wont transform your car on their own. If your bushes are worn then ANY new bushes will make things better.
