Changing to Poly Bushings?

#1 Post by Kelster1055 » Fri Feb 15, 2013 12:18 pm

Hello,
I'm looking to change my OEM bushing to the new polyurethane bushing by either Poly Bush or Super Pro.
Does anyone have any experience with Poly bushings?
Does anyone have a Bushwaka Tool I can borrow?

I'm in Kelowna - Thanks in advance.

What model of truck? I've done it on series IIa, Range Rover and Discovery II. No special tools needed. Upside is way easier to install and more solid ride. Downside is less flexibility and more road vibration.

Hey Dave,
The truck is a 1970 SIIA 88". I'm doing new Leafsprings and Shocks at the same time so I figured now is the time to do bushings as well.
