A good days trialling..............

A good days trialling, usual Landie Bashing affair...... on the way home I thought she was driving different, especially as driving to the event she was spot on after I had followed Franks steering box adjustment guide (a must do for anybody with a bit of play - it makes a tremendous difference!)

Got home, a quick look-see underneath and the smoking gun was found:



So, the question to my learned members on here............. following the repair, do I go poly-bush or Genuine for replacement (I'm personally thinking Toyota Genuine)?

I've poly bushed everything (Supapro) and wish I hadn't. It cost a fortune and has conferred no appreciable benefit. Subsequent research suggests the consensus is stick with genuine as they are long-lived and more compliant.

OEM Toyota bushes every time, more compliant, longer lasting.

I've polybushed my anti roll bar links, but thinking OEM rubber bushes for anything with reasonable rotation (control arms, ARB D-bushes)

I've polybushed my anti roll bars, but for the main suspension arms I'll be sticking with OEM if I can.

Did you go with the Milner's ARB bushes? I have some new shocks to fit and intend to replace these bushes while I'm under there.

Don't know about the fronts, Julian V fitted them at the last service as the originals were shot. The rears I rebuilt with SuperPros recently, keeping the original hardware as the links have been extended.

Thinking about it I might need to re-extend the fronts, as complete new units were fitted.
