Sorry i was in a rush so didn't have time to explain.

In my experience poly bushes are a downgrade from the original spherical bearings fitted as standard.

If you're going to spend money then personally i'd get original equipment, if there still available, if not then put the money towards having a rose jointed beam made.

the poster obviously wants to improve the handling, the polybushes 'may' help if his standard ones are seriously fooked.

A rose jointed beam is like night and day when compared to a polybushed setup!!
