Technical To poly bush or not poly bush

[jonny427]

Hi all, not knowing what the ride quality of these tiny cars is like, has anyone used poly bushes on the suspension, if so how is it? It is possible to buy various levels of hardness of these, or just stick with the original type? Thanks.

Not sure about Fiat, but I bought some for Skoda Scout 4x4 and much firmer suspension control than new pattern or original bushes and ride still comfortable even though I went for the stiffer black ones.

Yes, you CAN use poly-bushes on the 500, and there is a person in Somerset who has looked into this subject, to the point that he has found a company who will supply the required bushes for the kits that he has made up. Contact me direct-- [email protected] and I will pass his details onto you.
