I am thinking of fitting all round poly bushes on 1984 MK as all the rubber ones have corroded (My fault as not driven in 8yrs).

 

Anyone have suggestions for below.

 

What are the best ones ?

Why fit them?

Where to buy them?

How much are they?

hi fella

this might help i brought some from ebay and paid £100 roughly for both sets front and back for my mk4

i think mk3 and 4 are the same,it might be worth a look. but remember you have to replace a lot more than just the bushes you really need to replace all balljoints as well i have done the front and replaced steering rack ,track rod ends and both lower arms costing about another £100 for pattern parts. and then you've still got to get your tracking redone.

Guest steelcabby

get yourself a full de-flex bush kit for around 100 pounds. and also get yourself a front and rear strut brace. that helps like hell. especially that its a mk3

HI FELLA. YEA THE COMPANY WERE FLO-FLEX POLYURETHANE AND THEY HAVE AN EBAY SHOP. THEY DO MAKE A DIFFERANCE WITH EVERY THING BEING A BIT TIGHTER AND STIFFER AND THE QUILATY WAS OK, I WOULDN'T SAY BRILLIANT BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR NOT PAYING SUPER-FLEX PRICES. AND A FRONT STRUT BRACE WILL HELP BUT THE CAB'S HAVE A REAR ONE BUILT IN ALREADY SO DON'T BOTHER WITH THAT .
