Rear trailing arm bushes

What would you recommend please ?
I'm after a firm ride ( aren't we all

)
Not fussed about super articulation as I do quite a bit of towing these days,

I shall replace the classis and axle end bushes whilst in at it,
I also need to replace the bolts as there worn on the shaft also

I thought it was handling a bit vague recently

Do ya think bearmach would be OK ?
Or shall I just go genuine ?

Thanks in advance

Polybush orange... firm, responsive yet not harsh. I purchased mine from YRM along with the graded stainless hardware, both front and rear. Very happy with the ride.

Bearmach are good with a decent spec polyurethane used, Else wise it would have to be Superpro or genuine route, IMHO Superpro i have used and been impressed by the quality.

P.S whilst doing the rear bushes check the A frame ball joint for freeplay.

I believe that Bearmach bushes are made by Superpro though I'm not sure if the compound is the same. Bearmach bushes came packed identically as the Superpro ones and marked "made in Australia " which leads me to suspect that if they're not the same then they can't be far off

I started with nothing and still have most of it left!

I installed the SuperPro kit 11k miles ago. Its been perfect - a much better ride.
