Transforming the Ride Quality of Excel Signs’ Ford Transit V362

Share:

Commercial

Recently, our team had the pleasure of working with Excel Signs, a local signage company, fitting their Ford Transit V362 (2012-On) with a full Polybush offering.
This van is a true workhorse, regularly carrying hefty loads of signage, tools, and equipment. However, the original rubber bushes were starting to show signs of wear, including the well-known failure point, the Front Wishbone Rear bush leading to a less-than-ideal ride quality and poor handling.

The solution? A complete upgrade to Polybush’s premium polyurethane bushes, designed to outlast and outperform the factory-fitted rubber bushes.

The Fitting Process

Our team swapped out the front wishbone front and rear bushes, fitted new front anti-roll bar bushes, and replaced the leaf spring front and rear bushes. The entire process was straightforward, thanks to our team’s familiarity with the Transit platform and Polybush’s precisely engineered parts.

The Benefits

After the installation, the improvement was immediately noticeable. Here’s why:

  1. Improved Handling – The Transit now feels more planted, especially when cornering. The firmer bushes reduce unwanted movement, making the van more responsive to driver inputs. This is especially important for Excel Signs, who need their van to handle confidently under heavy loads.
  2. Enhanced Ride Quality – One of the key benefits of the new Polybush kit is the smoother ride. Despite the van often being packed with heavy signage, the upgraded bushes absorb more road imperfections, making long journeys much more comfortable.
  3. Increased Durability – Polybush polyurethane bushes are built to last, even under the strain of constant heavy loads. Excel Signs can now enjoy longer intervals between maintenance and worry less about bush wear causing any downtime.
  4. Cost-Effective Long-Term – Polyurethane bushes won’t deteriorate the same way rubber bushes do. The higher upfront cost is balanced by their longer lifespan and superior performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Client Feedback

“We’re blown away by the difference these Polybushes have made,” said Simon from Excel Signs. “The van feels sturdier, handles better, and drives smoother even with all the gear we load into it. It’s been a massive improvement, especially since we’re always on the road.”

Conclusion

If you’re running a Ford Transit V362 or any other commercial vehicle that works hard for a living, upgrading to Polybush is a no-brainer. Whether it’s improved handling, enhanced ride comfort, or just the peace of mind that comes with a longer-lasting component, the investment is well worth it.
