Re: Poly vs Heavy Duty

["ROB GOODALL" <jabber1@cableinet.co.uk>]

Hi dale,
        I,ve fitted polyflex bushes to my GT II front and rear and I must
say my cars steering and body movement has gone from being extemely slack to
excellent, I don,t feel any extra vibration and cetainly no squeeking, on
the subjecy of H/d v poly  I once had h/d bushes fitted on my capri in the
track  rods and I constantly suffered from what I thought was warped brake
discs, changed to poly bushes and suddenly hey no more warping and perfect
steering, beware though if you lower the suspension ie with stiffer
springs/shocks/ poly combo  apparently this is tooth grinding
ps I run 15" on 50 series tyres

cheers
