S8 Bushes
 
Can anyone recommend and point me in the direction of replacement bushes for an S8?

Can they even be bought as stand-alone items or do they come as part of the suspension arm units?

I need to replace the upper rear arm inner bushes so I'm thinking upgraded polyones all round is possible?

Thanks.

you will find polybushes incredibly harsh even on an S8 a couple of members have used them and given negative feedback - would suggest a good set of standard ones as previously discussed on here by many +++

Okay, thank you.

Which supplier/manufacturer would you recommend for the bushes?

Hiya

This covers it:

The rear uppers take a hammering on the inner bushes due to full steering lock putting a lot of load on the arms as the ram can really give them a good tug. Given how long they last in any case a good quality set will last years and years if you're not doing big miles
