SUVs have taken the automotive world by storm, offering a commanding driving position, road presence and practicality that makes them a popular choice. But owning an SUV comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to wear and tear.
Owing to their higher centre of gravity and heavier build means key components like suspension bushings, tyres, and steering systems often work harder than in smaller vehicles.
An SUV’s high centre of gravity makes it more susceptible to body roll, especially during cornering or sudden lane changes. Over time, this added strain can prematurely wear out suspension components, including the bushings. Worn bushings allow excessive movement in suspension arms, leading to several issues:
Polyurethane bushes are a direct replacement for your factory-fitted rubber bushes, but they bring a host of benefits that rubber simply cannot match. Here’s why Polybush is the ultimate upgrade for your SUV:
We’ve seen countless customers benefit from upgrading their SUVs with Polybush. But it’s not just our customers—we’ve fitted them to our own vehicles, too.
Ellis, our marketing man, installed Polybushes on his Tiguan:
“Fitting Polybushes to my Tiguan transformed the handling. It used to feel a bit vague on the backroads, but now it’s sharp and stable. It really gives the car the confidence it should have had from the factory!”
Our director Robert also fitted them to his Discovery 3:
“The Discovery 3 is a brilliant vehicle, but its size and weight can take a toll on the suspension and tyres. Since installing Polybushes, the body roll is much better controlled, even with my racecar in tow. I wouldn’t go back to stock bushes!”
If your SUV suffers from excessive tyre wear, wandering steering, or noisy suspension, it’s time to consider a Polybush upgrade. Not only will you save on long-term maintenance costs, but you’ll also enjoy a better driving experience with improved stability, reduced noise, and enhanced comfort.
Polyurethane bushes don’t just fix problems—they prevent them. So, whether you’re driving your SUV for the school run or off-road adventures, Polybush ensures your suspension system works as hard as your vehicle does.
