What I'm a little concerned about is that people are sometimes comparing 25-year-old rubber with poly, and that's a bit unfair on the stock system. Compare with brand new stock versions and the difference isn't so great.

I've known a lot of people say they wish they'd just replaced the stock rubber and not gone poly. One guy down Brentwood way a couple of years ago complained: \"Plays old Harry with me piles\".

I asked why he'd fitted them if he had piles. He said he hadn't had them until then ...
Singer?

In my case I replaced the old bushes on my MB with new OEM ones and months later replaced them with urethane. No two ways about it, road noise and harshness over bumps increase - a PITA if you planned doing 20K/annum as your repmobile, but for fun on a summer sunday it's tops....
