Dispelling the myths behind Polyurethane bushes.

“Polybushes are too hard”

A common misconception about Polyurethane bushes is that they are too hard and give a harsh

uncomfortable ride. This isn’t the case. Before a bush is created the mechanical properties of the

relevant suspension and the bush itself (including its hardness) are tested and considered to ensure

that the new product will live up to, and more often than not surpass the original OE part.

Although not often considered, one of the key characteristics of polyurethane is the range of

hardness that can be created. During the manufacturing process the hardness can be controlled

based on the application and purpose of the product, for example: our stiffest grade of polyurethane

will give you precise steering and a controlled ride at all speeds – The ideal solution for fast road

driving, track and towing. On the other hand our more elastic solution will give you greater

longevity, and greater shock absorption than its stiffer counterparts. “There’s a hardness for that”.

“Polyurethane bushings are too expensive”

Polyurethane bushings are resistant to water, grease, ozone and road damage and will outlive

rubber bushes by a considerable amount. They are referred to as “fit and forget” products due to

this huge longevity. Our bushes have a long service life and their performance does not degrade over

time and due to this do not need replacing like the rubber equivalents making Polybush a cost saving

option. An example of the cost saving potential is a solution created for West Midlands Ambulance,

the vehicles were suffering from premature bush wear and the bushes were not available to buy

separately. Due to this full replacements of anti roll bars and leaf springs were being carried out on a

regular basis. Once the need of full replacements was illuminated, a cost saving of £700 on parts

alone per vehicle became possible.
