If you’re running a TX5 (TXE) taxi, either as a sole operator or managing a fleet, chances are you’ve encountered this problem — The rear bush on the front wishbone fails, repeatedly.
It’s the kind of fault that takes vehicles off the road and costs you money in lost time and costly OEM parts. The culprit? The Front Wishbone Rear Rubber Bush (OEM part number 1C0001063AA) housed within suspension arm assemblies 1C0001011AE / 1C0001012AF.
This is the most common point of suspension failure on the TX5 (TXE), and unfortunately, it’s not going away.
LEVC are great during the first five years — they’ll replace worn rubber bushes under warranty. But after that? You’re on your own. And replacing those bushes means shelling out for a new arms, which don’t come cheap.
Rubber, for all its initial comfort, simply can’t cope with the day-in, day-out punishment that a working taxi endures:
Constant start-stop driving
Heavy loads
Speed bumps, potholes, and uneven roads
Exposure to oil, diesel, road salt, and city grime
This combination leads to early deterioration, splitting, and deformation of the rubber bush — often long before the rest of the arm is worn out.
Enter the Polybush 55A, specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the TX5’s front wishbone rear bush. Designed and manufactured here in the UK, it’s built from high-performance polyurethane, a material that wipes the floor with rubber when it comes to longevity and durability.
Why polyurethane is the ideal choice for your TX5 (TXE):
Polybush bushes outlast OE rubber bushings by four to five times, meaning less downtime, fewer replacements, and no more prematurely worn-out bushes taking your taxi off the road.
Taxi chassis see everything from spilt diesel to de-icer and road salt — all of which degrade rubber. Polyurethane shrugs them off, continuing to perform mile after mile.
The 55A has been specifically tuned to offer excellent vibration isolation, preserving the ride comfort your passengers expect, while also improving the precision and control that drivers love. You’re not trading comfort for durability — you’re getting both.
The 55A fits directly into the original housing. You can press it in without replacing the full wishbone arm, saving time and serious cash.

Taxi fleets can’t afford vehicles sitting in the garage. Whether you’ve got two cabs or twenty, fitting Polybush 55A means:
More uptime
Lower maintenance costs
Consistent ride quality for customers
Happier drivers, fewer complaints
It’s the kind of fix that just makes sense.
When a failed bush means your TX5 (TXE) is off the road, you’re not just looking at the cost of parts and labour — you’re losing income. One vehicle out of service can cost a fleet hundreds per day.
By fitting Polybush 55A, you’re investing in a fix that prevents failure, not just delays it.
The TX5 is a fantastic vehicle — modern, green, and built for the city. But like all vehicles, it’s only as strong as its weakest component. With Polybush 55A, you take that weak point and turn it into a strength.
No more failed bushes. No more unnecessary replacements. Just reliability, ride quality, and peace of mind.
