I’d only ever fit superpro now, vastly better than OEM and will last longer.

I fitted some LR bushes, and the original ones lasted 14 years, the replacements lasted 2. Now run full superpro.

Good thing I asked.

But, and pardon my language, what the

I was worried of the comments about poly bushes wearing on the arms but guess it's a risk I need to take then.
Thanks for the replies!

what replacements did you use?
I'm replacing the front ones (panhard and front radius arms) and I've a shopping cart ready for genuine LR ones. I understand quality has decreased, but 2 years?

Also, anyone knows how can I check the compatibility of polybush when the add states "9A7689367 ONWARDS" ? What chassis or year is this? Regards

1997 Defender 110 300 Tdi CSW Alpine White

That would be 2009MY vehicles with the last 6 digits showing as the chassis number onwards.

At this time the A frame bushes changed to ANR4164 which use a metric bolt. LR Workshop

Thanks!

I was confused because my chassis is 8AA793*** and that 9A7689367 wasn't making much sense. Regards

Your year code is "AA" - indicating a 2010 model year.

This is AFTER the "9A7689367". You want the "9A7689367 onwards" version.

You need to read the final 8 characters of the VIN.
