Fitted new poly bushes all round on my 1.8 5 door F1.
OK for a few weeks then squeaky at front.
Put 1/4 turn on the snubber nuts and all quiet for a few days then squeaking again.
Looking at them in detail they don't have a 'nose' like the rubber ones and seem to be squeaking against the wishbone disc at the front of the threaded section. The original ones have a centre tube that bolts tight. The new ones seem to have a tube that is shorter and rely on crushing the poly Bush.
Thinking of changing them back to rubber
Anyone else had this problem with poly??
