Capt. - there was one specific brank of Poly bush that have all the issues........not sure if it even exists now......check back about 5 years plus on USA forums.......Eek! That's not good. I'm always in two minds over whether to use poly bushes or rubber ones. Seen a lot of bad stuff recently about poly bushes dying just like that. Concerns me as some of my bushes a few years back were replaced with poly ones.
That's what concerns me as I had mine done about 5 years back. They are "Energy Suspension" poly bushes. Fingers crossed they aren't the bad ones, but they still seem to be around now.Capt. - there was one specific brank of Poly bush that have all the issues........not sure if it even exists now......check back about 5 years plus on USA forums.......
I have a new old stock set of adjustable rear strut rods with poly bushes, the bushes are failing as we speak.A few people had this occur perhaps a few years or so after purchase and installation - even bushes purchased and unused a few year were later showing signs of failure.

They are smart struts I believeWhat brand Gavin?
You mean they’ve not even been fitted to a car and the bushes are breaking-up?I have a new old stock set of adjustable rear strut rods with poly bushes, the bushes are failing as we speak.
Here you go still in an unopened bagYou mean they’ve not even been fitted to a car and the bushes are breaking-up?
All the same, polyurethane bushes are just dangerousThat's pretty shocking. I can't make out from the photos, but are all 4 bushes the same, or do some look okay? Any idea who made them?

Poly bushes like the ones you have shown us ARE certainly dangerous IF they had been installed on your car - fortunately the ones you have shown us were not installed........but I'm sure many CCCUK members will testify that the poly bushes they have installed (whether recently - or perhaps a number of years ago) and will testify to be in perfectly good order.All the same, polyurethane bushes are just dangerous
Blimey, that’s quite a spectacular achievement by someone to manufacture a “performance” part that falls to pieces just sitting on the shelf!Here you go still in an unopened bag
