Default Replacing suspension bushes

Hey all.

My 2000 WG Laredo is getting a little tired in the suspension department.

She has 300,000 on her and there are a few bushes, front and rear that are getting worn to the point where they need replacing. I have decided that, due to the mileage the old girl has done, I may as well replace all the bushes.

There are quite a few bush kits out there I know. Just wondering if anyone has used any of them before and can recommend a good kit. I know I will be paying for it but, what the heck, will only have to be done the once.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

For my WJ I got a kit from eBay, the control arm bushes were easier to buy the arms with the bushes already installed, and the price was similar

I favour the SuperPro poly bushes, they're a little pricey but they can be easier to install than the standard bushes. And no they don't make the ride harsher, if anything it's more compliant in my experience.

If you go the standard bush route I'd suggest buying a name brand bush if possible, Crown, Omix, etc...

Thanks mate. Am a little anti poly bushes due to past experiences. Will look into it though.

Not so much. More so no give over hard bumps. Ok for competition but not so good if you want mileage from your suspension.
