can i order polly bush kits for something more common that will still fit my xy ute? (in uk) is it the same front end as some mustangs etc?
thanx

poly bushes are only good for track racing as they transfer a lot of harhness back to the driver. If its used on the street the only thing that should have poly are the radius rod bushes. Use the original rubbers everywhere else. If you are loking at a handling improvement mod then lowering the upper control arms 1 inch is a worthwhile modification.

hey carpunk,, i run polly bushes throughout on my xy and it is quite harsh,,as russ said just run them in the caster bars for the road,,, iuse my car for circuit racing and my road cars use just caster polly bushes,

Or yes radius rod bushes to be exact but i guess it depends were your from,,,you can make these cars handle real well but there is definatly a compromise in the ride comfort level :-))((
