I'm about to order a full set of Dymanic Polybush bushes (Orange) to compliment the already rear shocks that I did a while back.
Whilst I'm about to also change the A-Frame Ball Joint at the same time, I may as well get the extra A-Frame bushes, however it seems that they only do the A-Frame bushes in Performance (Red) and Comfort (Blue) and not Dynamic (Orange) I originally chose Dynamic for the shocks due to wanting the best of both worlds, on and off road. Just wondering if anyone else has done the same and which flavour they went for? Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

The A frame moves such a little amount, I'd stick with rubber ones that last for years.

That would certainly save another job!
To be honest, the more I read into Polys the more I'm thinking I might just save my pennies and not even order the other kit and leave as is. Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

Working my way through my 90, would stick with this type they have worn well.

Personally I plump for the original metalastic bushes but don't be tempted to buy cheap and cheerfull ones. I bought a full package of supposedly OEM bushes for my 110 18 months ago. When they arrived in plain plastic bags I was a little suspicious, two months later I wasn't at all happy when doing a quick check for the MoT discovered the front radius arms to axle bushes had completely disintegrated. I have completely rebushed the lot since and the last ones to be done were the rear radius arms to chassis bushes. within a month they went from looking OK to providing ½" of movement in the bush which when transmitted to the road wheel gave considerable movement to the ground. Driving it was entertaining, much akin to driving with a heavy load and a half flat tyre.
I should have really known better but to quote the old adage...... Buy cheap, buy twice  |

Would have gone back to standard bushes, much cheaper but don't have the press.

Although I've decided against Poly at the moment, Polybush replied to my question and they do actually sell the A Frame in Dynamic, it was an error on their site. Craig Rogers
