Ive just done mine and honestly theyre fine, poly bushed rear ARB but put the standard ford main beam bushes back in as i was told very reliably that they were the best bushes available and that ford spent a lot of time in there development.
Marty,
You have got them round the wrong way, it's the main beam bushes that should be changed and the trailing arm bushes retained
. You were either told incorrectly or misinterpretted what they said
.
All you have to do is read Stu's statement and if you know anything about engineering, you will swap the standard beam bushes for poly items and the trailing arm ones back to the OE spherical joints
. Mind you, I don't think it will matter too much, loading it on and off a trailer
.
