Hi all ! I am hoping to gather some info on the different styles of bushings so I can make a good decision on what will work best for my rig. There are several styles of trailing arm bushings out there :

*Factory rubber
*Rubber with concave base ( these are designed to disallow the the ' rear-end steering ' that is prevalent in these older Range Rovers - I am guessing there will also be a compromise here in the articulation because of the design.
*Poly bushings - These ( mostly ) have a shape that will increase the ability of the arm to move and help increase articulation but have a different durometer of material that may make up for the shape .

I am hoping that some one may have some useful input and experience. I drive my Rover on the highway for long road trips and do quite a bit of off road exploration so a good compromise is important. I have OME medium springs , 1.25 inch billet spacers , Pro Comp Es9000HD +2" shocks , extended stainless brake lines , new a-arm ball joint so the bushings are about all that is left to do in the back end for a while .

 

Hey...
I used the polybush kit from Paddocks what a difference I can actually drive the car at speed and no wobble goes straight even after I trimmed them down a bityou will need to get the old bushings pressed out at a shop though.

 

That is good info.... how do they flex comparative to your old OEM bushings ?
