STANDARD & POLYBUSH |
STANDARD BUSH KITS - Direct replacement of original bushes. Kits contain complete vehicle sets of standard suspension
bushes, including: Front: radius arm-to-axle, radius arm-to-chassis, panhard rod. Rear: top link-to-chassis, bottom link-to-axle,
bottom link-to-chassis. Also included: top and bottom shock absorber bushes, front and rear.
POLYBUSH KITS - Polybush suspension bushes are available in two types, Classic (red) and Comfort (blue), both equally
suitable for 1970 to 1995 Range Rovers (not Series 2 Range Rover). Classic are the original polyurethane
bushes, giving a firmer ride and more positive handling; Comfort bushes are designed to combine the smoothness and comfort
of the factory-fitted rubber bushes with the long life and easy-fit of the Polybush Classic.
Supplied as full vehicle sets (excluding shock absorber & A-frame bushes), they are simple to fit replacements which will
outperform and outlast the original rubber bushes many times over. Polyurethane bushes are also available singularly (black) -
refer to individual listings on appropriate section(s).
Note: Although Polybush suspension bushes can be DIY fitted by hand, requiring no special tools, a hydraulic press may be
needed to remove the old rubber bushes.
BOLT KITS contain all the nuts & bolts necessary when renewing the suspension bushes

Uprated Shock Absorbers & Springs
The standard shock absorbers and springs fitted to Range Rover are a cost effective compromise between ride comfort, handling, load carrying and towing ability.
We recommend fitting uprated suspension components if any of the following applies to you :-
1. You wish to improve handling.
2. You regularly tow large trailers or carry heavy loads for extended periods.
3. You have improved the performance of your Range Rover.
4. You find the vehicle floats and wallows excessively.
5. You regularly use the vehicle off-road.
We stock uprated shock absorbers by Bilstein, De Carbon and Koni. Bilstein and De Carbon are heavy duty, non-adjustable gas shock absorbers offering vastly superior damping abilities and extended life compared to original equipment.
Koni shock absorbers offer similar benefits, plus they are adjustable for damping rate whilst fitted to the vehicle.
We recommend changing the vehicle's springs at the same time. You can choose from uprated springs of standard ride height - recommended for normal road use - or raised ride height (front 30mm, rear 40mm higher), which are recommended for heavy towing and extra ground clearance when off-roading.
Our kits show just about every combination to suit your requirements - and they save you money too!

Anti-Roll Bars
Anti-roll bars were gactory fitted on certain models from 1991. Fitting anti-roll bars decreases the amount of pitch and roll during hard cornering by controlling suspension travel. However, anti-roll bars will limit axle articulation when off-roading, for the same reason. For vehicles used mostly on road, anti-roll bars will transform the handling, steering and braking; particularly when used in conjunction with our polyurethane bush kits, uprated shock absorbers, stiffer springs and uprated steering damper.
NOTE: These kits are not suitable as replacement for factory fitted items.
Anti-Roll Bar Kits;

Uprated Steering Damper
Used on its own or in conjunction with uprated suspension and bush kits, uprated steering dampers improve the 'feel' and accuracy of the steering.
