Carl thats a big job TBH.
Unless you have the rest of the handling mods sorted in your car i wouldn't rebush with poly TBH.

This can be OTT when you come to do the other handling mods

Hi
it may be worth getting them checked before you go throwing money out
It could bve a couple of issues with the car
The rear beam bushes went on my son`s MK4 Golf
PITA to do , he did his at home you see
But I must admit , the polly bushes are easier to replace than OEM ones
You see it can be ARB , top mounts , wishbone bushes or even the rear beam bushes

Could be ball joints and drop links aswell.
As sarah sadi no point in changing loads of things till you discounted everything else
