Well if you're experienced at handbrake overhauls you can help me sort mine ;) - a polybush kit is on my shopping list too as I reckon mine could probably do with one :D
 
imho yer better of replacing bushes with OE parts.
polybushes don't last 5 minutes.
 
Had the Deflex ones on mine and never had any probs until now. The big nut holdin' the bottom link to chassis came loose and ah think ah knackered the big bushes. Found out lookin' at various websites anaw that the yellow ones ah put on are for off road use only!!. Ah was going to try and find the single bushes but ah think they only come in the kit. Got meself one of them orange flo-flex kits (direct replacement for OE) to put on this weekend so hopefully these won't be too hard;) :D

The secret is not to over tighten them mate ;)

The shock bushes are the worse for splitting (or so i've heard) but they dont need reaming up like the rubber ones do ...... just gotta take out the play in em ;)

DiscoGirls have been fitted like that for months now and many miles too with no splits to report :D
