Anti roll bar bushes and drop links

Any suggestions as for brands? Polly, oem?

I see powerflex and orange polly bushes along with delphi etc. Mines creaking after a run so I assume one of these parts. I might as well have a look with a bar and change the cheap bits anyhow. If it doesnt resolve the same question regarding wishbones - polly or stock?

Cheers Very Happy

My experience is that I had the front ARB's replaced with gen LR ones last year. I have since taken the car to another indi who tells me that there is some slackness there again. From what I can gather, it's wear on the bar and the answer is a poly bush of some description. I have since had the rear ARB's replaced with poly and that's stopped the knocking (not the front ARB's or rear drop links then). You may find the poly are cheaper as well, depending what you use.

No problem, I would like to be able to tell you which poly bushes he put on the rear but the, substantial (I had lots of other work done), bill just says rear polybushes and they are orange.
Because my car originally came from Scotlandshire with their permasalt roads, the bolts were a complete pita to get out (previous indi had had a go but stopped when he realised the bolt heads were getting chewed up) and whilst I know some on here have done them on their driveways, I knew I lacked the talent.

I fitted genuine LR ARB bushes to the front, and after 6 weeks it was knocking badly. I was advised my DISCOMIKEY to replace them with PRO Poly bushes as they have a larger diameter, so I did. The knocking has gone, and I’m well chuffed. All the other bushes and lower arms are genuine LR parts and seem to do what they are supposed to. Previously owned 1999 Disco 2 TD5
Disco 3 HSE TDV6 2007
Gone 2007 TDV8 RRS1 in Buckingham Blue.

How do know if the knocking at the front has been sorted?

You can hear the knocking at the rear better

I’ve got a little knocking too especially over the plastic sleeping policeman at work. Gently crawling over and there is a knock which my super hearing has now detected a fluttering of knock on bumpy B roads. I had a load of bushes replaced last year but my indie couldn’t see anything amiss. So I’m waiting on it becoming more prominent and then take it back. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Having looked at Buckster's thread, I think I have the orange Polybush's on the rear. When the front ones go again, as I'm sure they will, I'll get them put on there as well.
I didn't realise the gen ones were so expensive/overpriced (delete as appropriate);

Twenty quid for the pair of Polybush against twenty three for one! I accept that labour will be more than the cost of the part but in hindsight I can't understand why people would fit the gen ones.
