Polyurethane bushings advice

Has anyone used this bushing kit and any feedback on them? Would like to swap out the old bushings, just don't want squeaking.

Thanks.

Re: Polyurethane bushings advice

I have no experience with those but I know that mine are not squeaking, at least never had a complain in more than 7 years on the market.

Thanks. What brand are yours? I don't see too many out there for W463's, or maybe im not looking in the right places.

RE: Polyurethane bushings advice

When my G500 was at OCD this summer for suspension work Marc recommended the full Desert Service Polly bushing kit. I have done 3k miles of mixed road and Offroad driving with them installed. They are really nice.

I went from worn out/broken springs, shocks, and bushings to OME medium springs, OME Nitrocharger sport shocks, and the Desert Service bushings. I can’t say if the bushings or OME setup made the biggest difference because it was all done together. She is riding like new to better than new, now.

No squeaking.

This is good to know, thank you. I have 61,000mi on my 2011G and the shocks and springs will changed out in January for an OME set-up. I've had good luck with OME on my Landcruisers; Terrain Tamer on my 87. I've noticed, (seat of the pants) that the 2011 model year seems to have a "squishier" suspension then my 2002; could be me.
