Suspension bushes are highly susceptible to punishment, likely being the first components to succumb to wear and tear. It comes as no surprise then that many of the UK's Caddys - especially the earliest 2Ks - are long overdue for some replacements!
If you, like us, live by the philosophy of "replace it, upgrade it", then Polybush are the perfect solution for making your van feel brand new. Polyurethane bushes not only revise your tired suspension but bring so many more positives to the way your vehicle will feel and drive. Even if your suspension isn't crying out for new rubber, you'll be wishing you'd changed to the stiffer compound sooner!
Our full range of Performance Polybush components offers the most precise and controlled ride available from the UK company. The Caddy, being a relatively small van, has the potential to offer an exhilarating drive as well as being a practical work or day van. That's why we've taken Polybush's stiffest grade of replacement polyurethane bushes! Ideal for fast-road or track use, the Performance Red bushes are one of the best suspension upgrades on the market, giving your the road feedback your left wanting behind the wheel of a van.
Here's what Polybush have to say
Polyurethane is an ideal material for making into suspension bushes. Its combination of high tensile strength and elasticity translates into immense durability in the toughest conditions. Polyurethane Bushes have excellent resilience, springing back in to shape effortlessly to absorb shock and prevent dirt ingress and wear. Lastly, it doesn’t age or perish – rubber bushes both perish and are attacked by oils and fuels.
We understand most vans won't be hitting the Nürburgring anytime soon, but that's not the only reason you might want to benefit from uprated components. Many of the vans on the road today are either commercial or camper. Either way, you're carrying a lot of weight in both tools and appliances. All that weight in a van like the Caddy can make for an unpredictable ride and push the standard suspension components beyond their comfort zone. This is where the Performance Red Polybush solution really shines!
A fully laden van will instantly feel more planted on the road and exhibit sharper turn-in, more responsive feedback, far greater longevity, and less body roll. This is the reason we van owners would consider upgrading our bushes. We all aspire to have fully adjustable coilovers and uprated drop-links, so why not complete the job with a set of Polybush Performance bushes?
Polybush have a complete catalogue for the VW Caddy 2K, meaning you can get your van back to its former glory (well, better actually) with just one visit to your mechanic!
We've created a handy diagram below to help you identify the exact pieces you'll need, or even to help you diagnose a bad bush if you've got an unwelcome knocking noise.
