Just spent the last 3 hours burning out the old ones...what a messy and unpleasant job!

I was planning to use oem bushes (as per the wiki)..are oem the best ?

i note that some zoners have advised against poly bushes owing a harsh ride?..mine is a sundays and fine weather cabby and i don't driver her hard.

would appreciate any advice.

cheers

On a cabby, stick with OEM / Lemforder, pointless stiffening up the ride as it'll never be a fast road / track weapon.

Don't put cheap & nasty ones in, I've just replaced a pair put in about a year ago, only buy Lemforder or BMW! It's makes a hell of difference to the way the car drives as well
