What are the bushes made from?

Sean,If you look at how the suspension is set up the tube is clamped in the bracket and the bush turns on it, if fitted correctly the bush should not rotate in the sleeve of the wishbone and that would defeat the object of the poly bush as it is meant to rotate around the stainless tube.

You are dead right about the mileage and wear and tear thing as in reallity the car will do very little in terms of road use and most suspension bushes are rubber with a sleeve moulded in to it.
