United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I've a hot-hatch driving style and I fitted Powerflex ARB polybushes and since then, I've had no knocking. I don't believe it adversely affects the ride either so worth considering.

I was advised by the dealer that the ARB bushes are not covered by warranty. Are you getting yours replaced under warranty? 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

I've fitted super pro bushes to the lower arms, but the roll bars are worth keeping as stock IMHO.

The Super pro bushes don't wear the same as stock bushes, so this is going to cause the ARB to wear instead. I would rather change the bushes every couple of years than have to replace the ARB (granted it will take awhile to wear, but once it wears enough it doesn't matter how new your bushes are you will still get rattle and play), stock bushes aren't expensive or an overly big job (the front's are fun), I suppose the real decider is how long you intend to keep the car for.

Just my 2p and reasoning Whistle

Well I think I'll be having a phonecall to the dealer then, they did some minor warranty work (park sensor and tv software update) at service time, but told be the ARB bushes were wear and tear items so not covered. Thanks for that. 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine
