I couldn’t get the deflex bushes to fit properly when I tried to fit some once. I’d go for original bushes, pollybushes have been known to cause the chassis to crack.

I got told not to fit them because of it. Something about them being too hard and not absorbing the vibrations as well.
I went and fitted a set anyway. Not got it on the road yet so I cant tell you what they are like.
