[JDUB 20V]

Just about to install my new rear beam, had to replace brakeline from front to back in process,but nearly there Now wanting to know which way round the bushes go as they have a flat lipped edge now does it fit going inwards to outwards or outwards to inwards?

Cheers guys & i did search too lol.. How would you guys rate the drivability/harsh ride & handling in comparison to the standard bushes?

Mine doesnt feel too harsh but does make the rear of the car more stable and connected
Comfort wise my car (van as they call it at work due to nothing in the back but bars) is ok but its been done for a purpose, comfort comes second

When I fitted mine I didn't feel any drop in comfort to be honest, but it did dial out a considerable amount of 'vagueness'. On my car with standard suspension, I used to turn a corner, then the back used to turn a bit more which used to make it interesting. With the Poly rear bushes it only turns when I tell it to.

Well, it did, I'm now having issues with front poly bushes, but that's another topic...

Let me guess, bushes popping out or dying in no time??
Im considering rose jointing my spare wishbones and trialing them, obvoiusly this will be harsh but much firmer and hopefully no issues

I'm getting a direction change on acceleration or braking, conversations so far suggest the rear wishbone bush isn't doing its job anymore. Not had chance to have a proper look though.

Hmmmmmmmmm going to give the Polly bushes a trial and go from there, thanks for the input guys

When I fitted mine the bolt through the offside bush was half way out and heading straight into the fuel tank. I removed the bracket from the car to facilitate the change, I think it helped ease the realignment difficulties when fitting the axle back to the car.
