Additional information:
Description:

What is this front wishbone polybush kit?

This performance-grade polyurethane bush kit is designed for the front suspension wishbone assemblies fitted to Austin Healey models from BN1 through BJ8. It provides a firmer polyurethane alternative to the standard OE-style bush assemblies used in the front suspension.

The kit services both left-hand and right-hand front wishbone assemblies and is intended for owners who want reduced compliance and more controlled front suspension behaviour during enthusiastic road driving.

Key benefits

  • Reduced compliance compared with OE-style bush assemblies
  • More consistent front suspension geometry under load
  • Resistant to oil, fuel, and general road contamination
  • Maintains shape under repeated suspension movement
  • One kit covers both front wishbone assemblies

Will this fit my Austin Healey?

Yes, if your car is fitted with the standard front wishbone suspension.

Fits:

  • BN1
  • BN2
  • BN4
  • BN6
  • BN7
  • BT7
  • BJ8

Does not fit:

  • Vehicles with non-standard or modified front suspension geometry
  • Very early BN1 models if the front suspension differs from the standard wishbone arrangement

What’s included in the kit?

  • Performance-grade polyurethane bushes for front wishbone assemblies
  • Correct quantities to service both left-hand and right-hand sides

Technical details

  • Material: Polyurethane (performance compound)
  • Colour: Red
  • Application: Front suspension wishbones
  • Resistance: Oil, fuel, and road contamination
  • Compliance: Reduced compared with touring and OE-style bush assemblies

Installation & setup notes

Installation involves removal of the front wishbone assemblies and pressing out the existing bush assemblies.

  • Press or suitable bush tools required
  • Inspect wishbone pins, fulcrum shafts, and mounting points for wear
  • Light lubrication assists during installation
  • Final tightening should be carried out at normal ride height

Limitation: The firmer compound may transmit more road feel than the touring specification, which is normal for reduced-compliance bushes.

Why choose this part?

This performance kit suits owners who want a polyurethane alternative with reduced compliance for more consistent front suspension control during fast road driving.

FAQs

Does this kit cover both sides of the car?

Yes. One kit services both the left-hand and right-hand front wishbone assemblies.

Is this stiffer than the touring kit?

Yes. The performance compound has reduced compliance compared with the touring specification.

What should be checked during installation?

Inspect wishbone pins, fulcrum shafts, and mounting points for wear, as worn components can affect suspension behaviour even with new bushes fitted.

Is this suitable for road use?

Yes. This kit is intended for fast road driving, though increased firmness compared with touring bushes may be noticeable.
