Poly Bushes

Post by theboycalledleaf »

Hey

I'm lowering the westy by 50mm with springs from Mr Baxter and Gas dampers.
Now..............everyone mentions replacing the bushes with poly ones. Which bushes are they?
Please let me know as people rave about them.

Cheers

I did the whole lot, much more stable in cross winds and generally much sharper. A days work each side for all joints and bushes.
