Was wondering, what are the differences between the Verada and Magna control arm bushes?
I know Verada has liquid ones and magna has normal ones, but is there any difference between them? If I was to put magna ones in my verada, would it be bad? or....

Cheers.

Won't fit. There are 2 types. Yours have locking nuts others don't and cannot be swapped. The non locking type are no longer avail

I recommend highly against poly or nolothane bushes

My magna had silicone filled ones. They split, grabbed a nut model one from a wrecker for with low kms and fitted that

Polys are too stiff? Or just a no no in general?

Alot of people don't like Poly but I feel they work well, ive got them in the rear end of my 3rd Gen and the are pretty amazing, if I had the choice I would've gone rubber but I needed them done asap and Poly was all that was readily available.

Poly being stiffer are good to some degree for performance but they will make the ride a bit harsher and in some cars where they are used on strut rod's then rod's have been known to brake due to the bushing.
