Why Polybush Suspension Bushes Outperform Standard Rubber Components
Polyurethane suspension bushes deliver remarkable improvements to your vehicle's handling and longevity. Polybush components outlast standard rubber bushes by 4-5 times, providing consistent performance throughout their extended lifespan. This durability stems from polyurethane's exceptional tensile strength and elasticity, which withstand demanding conditions without degradation.
Unlike rubber bushes that perish and break down when exposed to oils and fuels, Polybush suspension components remain stable and functional. The material's inherent resilience allows it to absorb shock effectively while maintaining structural integrity, preventing dirt ingress and minimising wear during daily use.
Polybush Performance Benefits
When you upgrade to Polybush suspension components, you'll notice immediate improvements in vehicle handling:
- Sharper steering response
- Reduced body roll during cornering
- More predictable handling characteristics
- Better control during suspension droop
- Decreased noise and vibration
These improvements occur because polyurethane bushes control suspension movement more effectively than rubber alternatives. The precise engineering specifications of each Polybush component ensure optimal performance without sacrificing ride comfort.
Choosing the Right Polybush Colour for Your Needs
Polybush offers three distinct grades of polyurethane bushes, each identified by colour and designed for specific applications.
Blue (Comfort)
The most compliant grade provides excellent shock absorption with a factory-fresh feel. Ideal for daily drivers seeking longevity and comfort.
Orange (Dynamic)
Balances stiffness and elasticity for vehicles requiring additional stability without sacrificing ride quality. Perfect for moderately upgraded vehicles.
Red (Performance)
The stiffest grade delivers precise steering and controlled ride at all speeds. Designed for fast road driving, track use and towing applications.
This colour-coding system makes selecting the appropriate bushes straightforward based on your driving requirements.
Complete Polybush Kits vs Individual Components
For complete suspension upgrades, Polybush kits provide all necessary components for specific vehicle applications. These comprehensive packages ensure compatibility across your suspension system. Alternatively, individual Polybush bushes allow targeted upgrades to address specific suspension issues.
The Polybush catalogue includes options for numerous vehicle makes, including Land Rover, Range Rover, Triumph, MG, Rover, Jaguar and Mazda. Whether you need components for super strut suspension systems or universal poly bushes, the extensive range covers most applications.

Polybush vs Rubber: The Technical Advantages
The technical superiority of polyurethane suspension bushes becomes evident when comparing their material properties to rubber.
- Durability: Polyurethane resists weathering, oil contamination and UV degradation that typically destroy rubber bushes.
- Consistency: Polybush components maintain their performance characteristics throughout their service life, unlike rubber bushes that soften and change properties over time.
- Precision: The manufacturing process for Polybush components allows tighter tolerances than rubber, resulting in more precise suspension geometry.
- Resistance: Polyurethane withstands higher loads without deformation, which is critical for high-performance applications or vehicles carrying heavy loads.
These advantages make Polybush suspension bushes the logical choice for worn suspension bushing replacement.
Installation Considerations
While the fitment of Polybush suspension components requires no specialised tools beyond standard suspension work equipment, proper installation techniques ensure optimal performance. The increased stiffness of polyurethane requires attention to alignment during installation.
For best results, consider installing a full kit rather than mixing polyurethane and rubber components within the same suspension assembly. This approach provides balanced handling characteristics across the vehicle.
Remember that poly bushes in the UK must be properly lubricated during installation with the supplied grease to prevent squeaking and ensure smooth articulation throughout their service life.
