you need to go to pug for the arb bushes, bump stops, wishbone bushes, and BBM for the beam mountings and strut tops.

Sorry to barge in here but are you trying to say that the pug strut top rubbers aren't too good? I've recently built some up new front struts and used a genuine mounting assembly. Just wondering if I should go for some BBM ones instead?

not trying to say anything

 

But if someone was asking about poly stuff then one would imagine they'd want uprated stiffer parts, however the general consensus for the widely available bushes is that the original Peugeot supplied wishbone items are long lasting and match or improve on a Poly bush.

Yep understood. I'll stick with the OE pug ones. I got a pug wishbone kit and anti roll bar bushes at the same time as the mounting kits. If it helps daryl then I can confirm that the pug anti roll bar bushes do look decent quality.

I've just replaced my pug bushes with super pro bushes which seem to have a very good reputation in 4x4 and the off road stuff.

 

These ones and I had them within 48 hours

Can't review them yet but seemed good quality upon fitment the weekend

Most of the bushes on the car are very old so just want to do the lot am a but pissed off that 3 month old wishbone bushes have had it

 

Cheers guys will have a look see what I can find

We're they gen pug or factors?

 

If factors then yeah sounds about right

were they cheap wishbones ? did you tighten them up with the wheels hanging down as you need to have weight on them [axle stands etc]or the bushes are under tension and fail quickly

SuperPro don;t last long on a Rally car so use OE ones all the time, Bumpstops I hate to say but the Powerflex ones are OK and dead easy to fit

 

If the wishbone bush's have gone that quick I would take them back as I doubt the ball joints will fair much better, Worst case of a wishbone before failure I know of is 2 week of normal road use

Got them from dingbro through my work the roads up my way are shocking full of holes besides my driving won't help but no just put them in and tightened the bolts I know the hub is f***ed so that won't help ether

 

The car is just used on the road or at crail but does get driven hard so looking for bushes that will last

I put new Peugeot bushes in mine well over 20k miles ago and its had a hammering in welsh lanes.

poly bushes are designed to be easy to fit and are all generally sh1t (avoid rally design ones as well) - just look how hard genuine knackered ones are to remove!!!
