Default Rear Beam Bushes

I'm looking for a new set of standard ream beam bushes after removing old to paint however not having any luck finding standard bushes.

If I can't find any what do people recommend poly or solid?

The car is not every going to be tracked or driven hard.

Thanks

Swear I've seen them pop up on eBay a few time when I've been looking.

Polls are fine and you can get them in black if you wanna keep it standard looking although I've gone for solid when I eventually get mine back on the road!!

I bought 2 on eBay and the seller replied to apologies that they could not honour the order. The black poly's are for track was just hoping for a conventional ride. If anyone has the black polybush's I'd be interested to know what they are like on a normal road going car.

Cheers, the guy says he's pretty sure they are compatible with a 3dr. Any idea how it's possible to confirm or are the staf and 3door the same?

Aren't they the same on all Sierras? Possibly even the later Granadas?!

Defiantly think I'll go for solid mounts on mine, they seem much easier to fit too?! I'm guessing, with solid mounts, you just have to drop the beam a bit, to remove/fit?

Would the uprated diff also suit a normal road going car?

Yes matey. Ive got one on my saff. With the standard diff mount you get a lot of wollowing from the rear end compared to a poly diff mount.

As glenn says

You'll be surprised how much better the car drives and puts the power down with the diff mount and decent beam bushes.

I'd say its probably the best and definitely the most cost effective mod done on my car
