After 100000ks I'm starting to hear some squeaks and noises from the rear end and was considering giving her a birthday and replacing all the bushes front and rear ... I have tried searching in here for bushes but cant seem to find any posts on them. When searching online for the best automotive bushes all I get is the companies saying there ones are the best. So the question is what does every one think is the best bushes to use I have been looking at the Superpro ones but again not being a mechanics shoe lace advice would be great ...Cheers

I'm thinking the same. Starting to get a 'clunk' from the front end when cold.

Hey all,

I just replaced my front bushes in the last few days. I went with OEM Toyota rubber again. There is some feedback that poly bushes (Superpro, Whiteline etc.) can give a harder ride when used in the lower arms, and it's better to use rubber for lower, poly for upper, giving you the best combination of ride and bush flex.

I posted a thread about my bush adventure here;

At the top of the thread you'll find 5 PP links to various threads describing removal of the bushes, and the use of after market poly bushes.

Hope this helps you out!

Best
