This performance-grade polyurethane bush kit is designed to service the rear suspension on Austin Healey models from BN1 to early BJ8. It provides a firmer polyurethane alternative to the standard OE-style bush assemblies used throughout the rear suspension for this chassis range.
The performance specification is intended for owners who want reduced compliance and more controlled rear suspension location during spirited road driving.

Before ordering:
Installation typically involves removing rear suspension components and pressing out existing bush assemblies.
Limitation: the firmer compound may transmit more road and driveline feel than the touring specification. This is normal for reduced-compliance bushes.
The performance compound suits owners who want a polyurethane alternative with reduced compliance for more consistent rear suspension location during enthusiastic road driving.
Use the chassis number. This kit fits up to BJ8.26704. From BJ8.26705 onward, the rear suspension layout changes and requires the late BJ8 kit.
Yes. The performance compound has reduced compliance compared with the touring specification.
It includes the polyurethane bushes required to service the rear suspension for the BN1 to early BJ8 layout. If the car has modified suspension components, bush requirements may differ.
Inspect suspension pins and mounting points for wear. Worn pins or elongated holes can cause movement that new bushes alone will not correct.
