As I was considering installing these - in fact a full Polybush set so I
could 'fit and forget' for the lifetime of the car - I'm intrigued by
this 'problem'.
Polybush themselves (http://www.polybush.co.uk/) supply both
'performance' and 'touring' bushes. Are members experiencing stiffness
problems with both? I was thinking of fitting the gentler touring grade.
Maybe I'll have second thoughts - and save a lump of money - if this is
a real issue. I'd be pleased to hear of any experiences with this
particular grade.
