right the lower arm bushes on my vr6 need doing, called vw and the genuine lower arms are discontinued! im not using aftermarket as these ones have only lasted 3 years from GSF car parts!

what are the poly bushes like? do they last longer than genuine items in your opinions? i take it there a bastard to fit as there solid so not much movement?

I had powerflex bushes in my golf all round with gaz gold Coilovers modified top mounts and it was like driving a go-kart the only down side was I went through 3 sets of ball joints and snapped 2 drop links

They're excellent. Better stability and no rotting issues. You are right about the fitting though as in some cases the old oil-filled ones may need to be heat-cut out

I've got polybushed front arms on my focus, they weren't too bad to fit but I did have a press.

They did creak a bit when new, I guess they needed a bit of time to wear in, but to be honest I noticed no difference at all between these and the standard rubber bushes!
