If your business relies on the Mercedes Sprinter minibus to transport your staff or clients, you know the importance of keeping it in top condition.
One of the essential components that often get overlooked is the rear link bushes. These small but critical components are responsible for keeping the suspension system in check, ensuring a smooth and safe ride. If you haven’t upgraded your rear link bushes to the 2AE Polybush, here’s why you should consider doing so.
Polyurethane is a high-performance material that is ideal for suspension components.
Unlike rubber, which can crack and degrade over time, Polybush products are incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
This means that your rear link bushes will last up to 4-5 times longer and require less maintenance than their rubber counterparts.
The 2AE Polybush is designed specifically for the Mercedes Sprinter minibus, and it fits all models from 1995 through to the present day.
This means that it’s perfect for large fleets, especially those with older minibuses that may be experiencing issues with their suspension system.
If a rear link bush were to fail, it could lead to serious problems with your vehicle’s suspension system. The most obvious symptom of a failing rear link bush is increased noise and vibration when driving, particularly over rough terrain or slow tight turns. However, a more severe consequence of a failed rear link bush is the potential for loss of control of the vehicle.
Preemptive maintenance is always the best option when it comes to suspension components like rear link bushes.
By upgrading to the 2AE Polybush, you’ll not only improve the longevity of your rear link bushes, but you’ll also ensure that your minibus is safe and reliable on the road.

Ford Transit minibuses and buses are popular choices for commercial and private transport due to their versatility and reliability. However, over time, the subframe bushes on these vehicles can fail, leading to a range of problems such as excessive noise, vibration, and handling issues. To address these problems, Polybush’s polyurethane upgrade for the Ford Transit’s subframe bushes is a smart investment.
So why do the subframe bushes on Ford Transit minibuses and buses fail?
The Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush is also a Subframe bush, made of rubber, these incredibly crucial bushes deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, stress and significant vehicle loadings.
When the rubber deteriorates, it causes the subframe to move around excessively, leading to the issues mentioned above.
Fortunately, Polybush’s polyurethane upgrade is an excellent replacement for the original rubber subframe bushes. The polyurethane material used in these bushes is much more durable and resistant to wear and tear than rubber, lasting 4-5 times longer. This means that they will last much longer than the original rubber bushes, providing a more comfortable ride for your passengers with improved vehicle handling.
The installation process for Polybush’s polyurethane upgrade is relatively straightforward With the right tools and equipment, it should take no longer than a couple of hours. Polybush products are easier to install than rubber bushes, as they do not require any special tools or lubrication, making them less prone to slipping and moving around during installation.
One key advantage of using Polybush’s polyurethane upgrade is that the bushes are available as a standalone replacement part.
This means that if one of the bushes fails, you don’t need to replace the entire subframe arm, as you would with the original rubber bushes. This not only saves time but also money, as standalone replacement bushes are typically less expensive than a full subframe arm.
As a VW T5 or T6 owner, you might have noticed some issues with the front lower wishbone bushings, these bushings are designed to cushion the movement of the wishbone and keep it in place, but they can wear out over time, causing excessive movement and even leading to handling problems.
One solution to this problem is to switch to the 44EA & 44EC which offer several benefits over O.E rubber, so why should you fit Polybushes to your VW T5 or T6?
Improved Handling and Steering Response
Polybushes can better resist the forces generated during hard cornering and braking.
As a result, they offer improved handling and steering response, making your VW T5 or T6 feel more connected to the road – You’ll notice that your vehicle feels more stable and planted, especially when driving on twisty roads or at high speeds.
44EA
Reduced Vibration and Noise
Rubber bushings have a tendency to deform and compress over time, which can also lead to excessive movement and noise.
Polybushes, on the other hand, do not suffer from compression set, which means that they can maintain their shape and function over a longer period of time. As a result, your alignment will not go out of line, increasing tyre life and reducing vibration and noise
Increased Durability and Longevity
Polybushes are also more durable and long-lasting than rubber bushings, lasting 4-5 times longer than rubber, they are less prone to wear and tear, especially from the likes of oil, fuel & road contaminants meaning that they can last for several years without needing to be replaced.
This can save you money in the long run, as you won’t have to replace your bushings as often as you would with OEM rubber bushings.
44EC
Easy Installation
Another benefit of Polybush is that our products are easy to install.
You don’t need any special tools or equipment to install them and the whole process can be completed in just a few hours.
The video below demonstrates that once the O.E bushes have been removed, the installation process is exceptionally quick.

Our Polybush polyurethane bushes are engineered to meet the demanding challenges that rubber parts simply can’t handle, making them the ideal choice for your Sprinter vans & minibuses. Just as the Sprinter excels at tasks that other vehicles can’t achieve, Polybush products are designed to outperform traditional rubber bushes in every way.
Rubber suspension bush deforming under load – Polybush resists deformation.
Why Choose Polybush Over Rubber?
1. Superior Durability:
Rubber bushes are prone to wear and tear, especially under the heavy loads and uneven terrain that Sprinter vans often encounter. Polybush bushes, on the other hand, are incredibly resilient, typically lasting 4 to 5 times longer than OE rubber bushes. This means less frequent replacements and more time keeping your Sprinters on the road.
2. Cost Savings:
Frequent replacements of worn-out rubber bushes can be costly, not to mention the downtime associated with these repairs. By switching to Polybush, you can significantly reduce maintenance costs and keep your fleet operational for longer periods.
3. Maintains Alignment and Tyre Longevity:
Polyurethane bushes maintain vehicle alignment far better than rubber. This helps to reduce tyre wear, ensuring your tyres last longer and provide better performance. Proper alignment also enhances overall vehicle handling, providing a safer and more comfortable ride.
The Problem with Rubber Bushes
Rubber bushes, while standard in many vehicles, are not ideal for the rigorous demands of a Mercedes Sprinter. These bushes often fail, leading to noise, poor handling, and potential damage to metal mating components like the anti-roll bar. This not only results in expensive replacements but also increased downtime, which is a significant inconvenience for any fleet manager.
Polybush: The Perfect Partner for Your Mercedes Sprinter
Our Polybush products are specifically designed to address these issues:
Anti-Roll Bar Bushes:
One of the most common problems Sprinter owners face is the failure of anti-roll bar bushes.

Unlike rubber, our bushes won’t deteriorate under pressure, keeping your anti-roll bar intact and your vehicle stable.
Comfort Comparable to OEM

However, Polybush bushes are engineered to provide a ride quality that is as comfortable as OEM rubber bushes. You get all the benefits of enhanced durability and performance without sacrificing comfort.
