Land Rover Suspension Bushes & Anti-Roll Bar Kits

This collection spans leaf-sprung Series shackle bushes through to the polyurethane and active anti-roll bar parts used on modern Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models. Budget Parts has supplied Land Rover parts for more than 25 years, with stock held across our Dutch warehouse network for fast EU dispatch, whether you need a single polybush or a full anti-roll bar kit.

About Land Rover Suspension Bushes & Anti-Roll Bar Kits

A suspension bush is the rubber or polyurethane sleeve that lets a suspension arm, anti-roll bar or chassis mounting point pivot and flex without metal touching metal. Worn bushes show up as clonks over bumps, vague or wandering steering, uneven tyre wear and play found at inspection or APK. Because a bush works within the wider Land Rover axle, suspension and steering system, it is worth checking the arm, drop link or mounting point it sits in at the same time. Shock absorber bushes and top mounts are shock-specific fitting hardware, so those live on the Shock Absorbers page instead.

This page brings together the bush and anti-roll bar range for Series, Defender, Discovery, Freelander and Range Rover models. The range is especially broad on the independent-suspension platforms, Discovery 3 and 4 and Range Rover Sport in particular, where anti-roll bar hardware, control arm bushes and active-system components cover many variants. Where the bush is moulded into the arm itself, or the arm is bent, corroded or has a worn ball joint, replace the complete part from Suspension Arms instead.

Choosing the Right Bush: Rubber or Polyurethane

Start with material. Standard rubber bushes restore the original ride and noise levels and are the sensible choice for a like-for-like repair. Polyurethane bushes, sold as polybush kits, are often chosen for their durability and reduced compliance under load, which can sharpen steering feel, though ride comfort, noise and service life vary by compound and application. Off-road and overland builds often move to polyurethane throughout for that extra control; daily-driven vehicles usually do better on rubber. Anti-roll bar bushes and drop links are common wear items because they move with the suspension on every corner, so check them whenever a knock develops from the front or rear of the vehicle.

Genuine, OEM and aftermarket. Genuine bushes and anti-roll bar parts carry the Land Rover part number. OEM or OES parts come from original-equipment manufacturers or recognised OE suppliers, and brands such as Lemforder, Delphi, Meyle and BWI may appear as OE, OES or aftermarket depending on the specific item. Aftermarket also covers value and upgrade brands, including Polybush for polyurethane bushes and Terrafirma for off-road hardware. For a standard repair, an OEM or OES bush is usually the sensible balance of cost and quality; for off-road or raised builds, match the bush material and anti-roll bar spec to your intended use.

Model Fitment Scope

The table below groups models by suspension type so you can see which bush and anti-roll bar parts apply. Confirm the exact bush or bar by VIN or build, because position, side and bar diameter vary within a model.

Confirming the Right Bush for Your Vehicle

Match the part to your specific vehicle before ordering. Work from the build date and VIN rather than the model year alone, because suspension specification can change mid-production. The VIN plate is on the chassis or under the bonnet depending on model; a VIN or chassis-number search returns the exact suspension build. Confirm three things: the axle, front or rear; the position, such as radius arm, panhard rod or anti-roll bar; and, for anti-roll bar bushes, the bar diameter, since the bush is bored to match the bar and a mismatched inside diameter will not clamp correctly. Some bushes and anti-roll bar parts are handed, position-specific or market and specification-specific, so confirm by VIN before ordering.

Common Fitting Notes

• Fit pressed-in bushes with the correct press tool or a bush press kit, not a hammer, so the sleeve seats squarely and the rubber is not damaged.
• Torque bushed pivot bolts at normal ride height, not on full droop, so the bush is not pre-loaded and does not tear early.
• Replace anti-roll bar bushes and drop links in pairs, left and right, so roll stiffness stays even across the axle.
• Check the bar diameter and bush bore before ordering. A bush that is too loose will rattle; one that is too tight will bind and wear the bar coating.
• Book a wheel alignment if the worn bush was part of an arm that sets camber, caster or toe. Bushes that only locate a panhard rod or anti-roll bar do not usually need a follow-up alignment.
