Hi guys

The last owner replace some of the bushes with orange ones not sure what make but there is still a lot of rubber ones on aswell and i know there is play in some of the bushes and want to replace them all with a new full kit.

i have her'd good and bad things with polyurethane bushes but i really want to fit them as i don't have a press and would sort a couple of problem's out, what do you think :)

Bearmach cotton real ones are a nightmare to get in apparently. Almost so it damages them from what I've read

You do need at least a bench vice to press them in,and I make sure that what they are going into is clean and smooth.Bit of vaseline helps them on their way. But it is because they are one piece they last well.:)

The Flo Flex I fitted to my 90 did not last very well at all, in fact I replaced them for the std bushes a couple of years later.
 
The previous owner of my wifes 90 fitted all BP Yellow polybushes all round and it's well sound.
 
I have the orange flo-flex ones on, and so far they have been fine, with the exception of having to cut one of the metal inserts as it was way too long.
 
BP yellow have worked well for me. Fitted them about four/five years ago, done fourty odd thousand miles, given them all sorts of abuse and they are still fine.
 
I have had no problems with the Bearmach one-piece polybushes and have fitted them to many vehicles over the past 15 years. I usually press them in with a vice but have found out that winding them in gently with a threaded bar is usually kinder to them.
 
Just ordered a bearmach polybush kit should be here along with the bearmach temp sender and a few other bits i have ordered at the end of the week then once my son has got his car back on the road i can start doing everything :)
