AMT Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Ok (might be one for Alex here lol), I have replaced all four arms at the front, two of which are used and the small rattle is starting to appear again. Not bothered they've done well for used items, no complaints at all, but I am now wondering about next time I change will I use the poly bushes? Couple of things to ask, does anyone have a full set up or one set of the front with the polys on it and how much worse is the ride? (as the 350's already a bit jarring over bumps to start with). Also I'm sure one time I was told one of the arms (banana or straight) could not have the bushes removed?? Which ones is it or can either be pushed out and replaced? Thanks for any help! Quote
ChrisB Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 No one has these poly bushes?? lol Got adjusted caster SuperPro compression arm bushes (swapped myself), none of the others - ride is absolutely fine Quote
GMballistic Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I had SuperPro poly bushes on the front of my Zed fitted by Horsham Developments. Personally I'd highly recommend them.

RickyZ Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I've got them and they're fine. Stopped my banana arm from making a noise so a thumbs up from me. Just more expensive than rubber ones which is the only downside. 1 Quote
HaydnH Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Just more expensive than rubber ones which is the only downside. But should last longer so will even out... eventually... Quote
AMT Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks guys, if its not that much different than normal at hardening the ride I'll maybe invest in some in the future. The normal ones seem to suck and just break regularly lol Quote
TT350 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I like a hard ride. Reminds me of back in the day. Vauxhal Nova. Gmax springs. Standard dampers. Bouncing like zebedee on E. 1 Quote

Another +1 for the super pro banana arm bushes , well worth the extra initial pay out. As regards to bushes that can't be replaced I would say he was referring to the ball joint on the banana arm that's not replaceable and if fubard a complete new arm is needed.
