I'm pretty sure they are the same... Just take some measurements of the ones you have fitted and compare them with any that you are going to buy... But I recommend you get nolaphane bushes. Makes life Soo much easier!

Thanks for response, I wish I can measure it. I'm asking as I'm in UK at the moment and car is in Poland, it makes buying spares bit dificult. Just a bit. ;-)
Regards
robert

A nolathane bush is a type of Poly bush. It doesn't have the steel sleeve on the outside so it can't seize into the leafs. They come in two halves with a inner steel sleeve.

This site should give you some insight:

I used an orange polybush set polybush sell differing grades of hardness depending on colour. Orange was recommended by Chris Perfect when I bought his parabolic suspension. Easy to fit and/replace and 2 yrs on are outliving the originals easily.
