Just about to replace my rear radius arm bushes.
From SNGB there is a huge price differential between genuine Jaguar and aftermarket. The smaller bushes are £46.18, or £5.77 each!!
I would normally go for genuine, but with such a difference, would anyone know if it is worth it?
Thank you
Simon

I purchased some non original bushes ( not from SNGB) within a couple of years they started to split
Absolute rubbish.

Replaced with those marked metalastic . I say marked as metalastic because in today’s world who knows what’s really genuine. However they have done 5 years without concern

The same occurred with steering rack mounts. I now stick to what I believe to be known brands.

Hi Simon...Worth checking ebay....SNG sell as British Auto https://ebay.us/m/qUFN1F

Not an easy thing to change if the cheap ones fall apart.

I'd go with genuine.

Hi.. I used polybush (red) on every bush on my car, the transformation is a great upgrade, def worth the extra expense and will out last all the other rubbish by years.
Rob Beere also sells a quality set of replacement bushes that i have used in the past.

Hi
The poly bush will reduce the famous rear axle steering, specially the big end.
I have used it now for some years.
Also the front end is poly bush that improve handling.
