Front Spring Bush Advice Please

Looking good! I've been pleased with the way the green polyurethane ones (Brett's) have been working out for me.

They are lasting well. The set that we fitted to Candy's Canter Has done two off road trips and are still looking good. I haven't fitted a set to mine as I'm using the bushes that I had purchased earlier and only replacing the broken ones till I run out.

finally got round to replacing bushes with polyurethane and pins with greasable. Had the parts for a couple of years. Rear hangers about 30 minutes each side. A bit of bother getting front pins aligned as I did one side at a time. But got there with two jacks. A couple of hours each side. I'd previously replaced springs which I did both sides at the same time but no longer have the high axle stands.

to move the springs far enough I had to release the shock absorbers.

so I adjusted the (Koni) shocks at the same time as they felt a bit soft (after some hard work). Nicely surprised how much difference a small adjustment makes.

end result:-
the new bushes got rid of the clunks
the greasable pins got rid of the squeaks
the shock adjustment got rid of some of the pitching

the old rubber bushes at the rear were very dead. front bushes still usable
