Restore Control and Ride Quality – 15% Off

Posted: Monday, 16 February 2026 @ 11:19

Replace tired rubber. Feel the difference immediately.

If your Austin Healey, Sprite or MG Midget feels unsettled, slightly vague, or never quite as composed as it should, the issue is often not major mechanical failure, just ageing rubber bushes that quietly lost their effectiveness years ago.

For a limited time, enjoy 15% off our entire Polybush range, covering suspension and gearbox mounting applications. It is one of the most effective ways to restore chassis stability, ride quality and drivetrain control without committing to a full strip-down.

Why Polybush kits are such a noticeable upgrade

Original rubber bushes did a good job when new, but most classics today are running on rubber that is decades beyond its intended service life. Polybush kits replace that tired compliance with carefully specified polyurethane designed specifically for classic suspension systems.

What you gain in real terms

  • Clearer steering feedback
    Reduced unwanted movement means the front end responds when you expect it to.
  • More stable braking
    Suspension stays located properly as load transfers, rather than shifting around.
  • Consistent suspension geometry
    Alignment settings hold instead of slowly wandering back out.
  • Longer service life
    Polyurethane resists compression, oil contamination and age far better than rubber.
  • Choice of Touring or Performance specification
    Matched to how you actually use the car, not how someone else drives theirs.

Available kits cover tie bars, wishbones, anti-roll bars, radius arms, panhard rods and rear suspension across Big Healeys, Sprites and equivalent MG Midgets.

Start with the biggest difference first

You do not have to replace every bush on the car in one go. Many owners start with the areas that make the biggest difference to how the car feels, then complete the rest in phases.

  • Front tie bar or radius arm bushes: steadier braking and calmer straight-line feel
  • Anti-roll bar bushes (if fitted): more predictable cornering balance
  • Front wishbone bushes: clearer steering and better turn-in
  • Rear spring and location bushes: less rear wander and mid-corner movement

If you are unsure where to start, our practical guide explains the symptoms and priorities clearly:

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Polybush bushes make my car ride too harsh? Touring specification bushes are designed to retain compliance suitable for road use. Many owners find the car feels more settled rather than firmer.
What is the difference between Touring and Performance spec? Touring focuses on comfort and control. Performance reduces compliance further for sharper response. The right choice depends on how the car is driven.
Can I fit Polybush kits in stages? Yes. Many owners start with the front tie bars or anti-roll bar bushes and work through the rest over time.
Are Polybush bushes suitable for cars used infrequently? Yes. Polyurethane is far less affected by age and inactivity than rubber, making it well suited to seasonal classics.
How long does the 15% discount run? The offer runs for a limited period, subject to stock availability.
