Bearmach poly bushes
Has anyone on here used Bearmach poly bush kits on their suspension arms ? I used them on my D1 and they were fine for that but I'm wondering what people's thoughts are for using them on a D3. Will they be too hard or harsh ?Jarrod

From memory on past threads, I'm pretty certain that the general consensus was to stick with the oe LR bushes. The ride quality was compromised with firmer bushes.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE

I've recently gone Super Pro having had a set of OEMs go after just 11k miles. Yes the ride is slightly firmer but compromised, I'm not so sure yet. Jury is out for me!

OE Range Rover sport are the favourites, they are also fitted to the armoured Disco. Very little difference in price.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I haven't used the search facility to check, but I remember a few posts on the subject from a long time ago.
From memory, the lovely smooth, cosseting ride of the D3 was compromised with harder bushes. Of course they'll be some who might desire this. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

I have put the Orange poly bushes onto mine to the anti-roll bar front and rear and a noticeable change in stability and ride.

Could have probably got a bit longer out of them, but they were replaced to try and cure a brake wobble...My D3 Build Thread

I managed to get a set of front rrs bushes and ball joints new off a member on here and a spare set of arms off another member so when I get 5 minutes (read as a spare day) I'll Redbush the arms and then swap them over. Jarrod
