If you own a VW Transporter T5 or T6, you may have noticed issues with the front lower wishbone bushings. These components are designed to cushion the wishbone’s movement and keep it firmly in place. However, over time, they tend to wear out, which can lead to excessive movement and potential handling problems.
Switching to our 44EA and 44EC Polybushes offers a host of benefits compared to standard OE rubber bushings. Here’s why fitting Polybushes to your VW Transporter is a smart move:
Polybushes are engineered to better resist the forces experienced during hard cornering and braking. This results in noticeably improved handling and steering response. With these upgrades, your VW T5 or T6 will feel more connected to the road – delivering a stable, planted ride whether you’re negotiating twisty country lanes or driving at higher speeds.
Conventional rubber bushings can deform and compress over time, which not only leads to excessive movement but also causes unwanted noise and vibration. Polybushes, however, are immune to compression set. This means they maintain their shape and functionality much longer, helping to keep your alignment spot on, extend tyre life, and reduce vibration and noise significantly.
One of the standout advantages of Polybushes is their durability. They last up to 4-5 times longer than rubber bushings, thanks to their superior resistance to wear and tear. They’re also more resilient against oil, fuel, and road contaminants. This longevity not only ensures consistent performance for several years but also saves you money by reducing the frequency of replacements.
Our Polybush products are designed with simplicity in mind. You won’t need specialised tools or equipment to install them – the entire process can be completed in just a few hours. Once you’ve removed the worn OE bushings, you’ll be amazed at how straightforward the upgrade is. Check out the installation video below for a clear, step-by-step guide.
