Description:

What is this anti-roll bar polybush kit?

This touring-grade polyurethane bush kit is designed for the front anti-roll bar (A.R.B.) fitted to Austin-Healey Sprite and MG Midget models using a 5/8-inch diameter bar. It replaces standard rubber bushes to improve durability while retaining compliant, road-friendly suspension behaviour.

Key benefits

  • Improved service life compared with rubber bushes
  • Controlled compliance for comfortable everyday driving
  • Reduced deterioration from oil, fuel, and moisture
  • Maintains shape without cracking or perishing
  • Lower transmission of noise and vibration than performance-grade bushes

Will this fit my Sprite or Midget?

Yes, if your car is fitted with a 5/8-inch front anti-roll bar. This kit fits the following models when equipped with a true 5/8-inch A.R.B.

  • Austin-Healey Sprite MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4
  • MG Midget MK1, MK2, MK3

Does not fit:

  • Cars without a front anti-roll bar
  • Models fitted with 9/16-inch or other alternative bar diameters
  • Aftermarket blade-type or competition bars unless diameter matches exactly

Quick check before ordering: a 5/8-inch anti-roll bar measures approximately 15.9mm.

What’s included in the kit?

  • Touring-grade polyurethane anti-roll bar bushes
  • Correct quantity to service one complete front A.R.B.

Technical details

  • Material: Polyurethane (touring compound)
  • Colour: Black
  • Anti-roll bar diameter: 5/8-inch
  • Environmental resistance: Oil, fuel, weather, and road contamination

Installation & setup notes

Installation reuses the existing anti-roll bar clamps and brackets and can be carried out with standard hand tools.

  • Light lubrication recommended during fitting to prevent noise
  • Confirm bar diameter before installation
  • Final tightening should be carried out at normal ride height

This touring compound allows controlled bar movement, helping preserve ride comfort on road-driven cars.

Why choose the touring specification?

The touring compound is intended for owners who value comfort, reduced noise transmission, and predictable road behaviour. It offers a clear durability improvement over rubber while retaining compliant suspension movement.
