Default Help! 2wd rear trailing arm bushes???

Ok so I'm having the rear beam powder coated etc.

Got to take the bushes out before they can be coated but I'm not sure if I can get away with using poly bushes?

I've seen ggr do replacements but if you think I'm paying £90 each for them, your very much mistaken

Help please

The original rose joint type bushes will last longer than polys, but polys are easier to fit and cheaper

I've spoken to a couple of people who have polys fitted and have said they have had no problems
