OEM matelastic bushes?

Hi hope you are all well.

Genuine LR or OEM bushes? Im hearing that the OEM brands are not as good as the used to be and the Genuine LR ones last longer.

What are your experiences?

Cheers Landy Lee

No problem with OEM, used them for many years and never had one fail on me.
Went over to SuperPro a couple of years ago based on good reports, seem to be doing what they are meant to.

Thanks!

What is the ride like on the Super Pro compared to the OEM type of bush?

Pretty much as standard but with fitting / removal being a simple 2-minute operation.

Fitted Bearmach Blue polyurethane bushes many years ago and apart from being a right pain to fit they were so hard that the ride was noticeably harsh, so much so that I took them out after a while and went back to OE.

I used paddocks own yellow polybushes on my old disco and they lasted really well. I think they were slightly softer than superpro. My local Indy specialist recommends the superpro, why is what I’d go with when I next need to fit bushes.
