I find that these polly bush type you gain tighter chassis control but refinement invariably suffers

That is just my opion

"Tighter chassis control" is a refinement, is it not?

i think he means less comfort, that's certainly what I've noticed after I polybushed my front end. Less sloppiness but less comfort

Cant say I noticed any difference in comfort when I polybushed either of mine. In the case of TBE, it highlighted a load of other problems though...

However, poyflex only do the front bush. So if the reaward bush has failed you need to look at either pressing new rearward bushes in and fit polly fronts, or fit new arms then polly those, either from new or later if the front bush fails.

Tbh, new wishbones would be best. ;)

Yeah that's it i think, couldn't think of the name and it's definitely not Lemforder. I don't even know if they do donuts. Not in winds, mainly over bloody stupid raised manhole covers and bumps in the road. I might eventually get geo done, hopefully that will ease it a bit.
