Hi,
I had the hard rubber Triumphtune bushes fitted to my 7 when they were the only performance option available. They were not only harder but solid items as opposed to hollow. The local garage had to fit them to my suspension arms because a hydraulic press was needed to push them in.
We have up to 3 degrees of Polybush hardness available here in the UK and I don't think a press is needed to fit them as the methodology is different. I recently replaced the old bushes on my anti roll bar and engine subframe with Polyitems but the old hard suspension bushes are still going strong.
Uprating the bushes makes the 7 handle so much better, particularly the steering turn in. Unfortunately our cars have so many of them the handling deteriorates dramatically when they wear out. It's such a gradual process that it's a shock when you replace them all at once.
