Additional information:
Description:

What is this rear shackle end polybush kit?

This touring-grade polyurethane bush kit is designed for the rear suspension shackle ends fitted to Austin-Healey Sprite and MG Midget models with the later rear leaf spring arrangement. It provides a polyurethane alternative to the standard OE-style bush assemblies used at the rear spring shackle points.

The touring compound is intended to retain compliance suitable for regular road use while improving resistance to contamination and age-related deterioration.

Key benefits

  • Improved durability compared with OE-style bush assemblies
  • Helps maintain correct rear spring alignment
  • Resistant to oil, fuel, and general road contamination
  • Touring compound retains compliance for everyday driving
  • Useful when refreshing worn rear shackle bushes

Will this fit my Sprite or Midget?

Yes, if your car uses the later rear leaf spring and shackle arrangement.

Fits:

  • Sprite MK3 to MK4
  • Midget MK2 to MK3

Does not fit:

  • Sprite MK1 to MK2 (1/4 elliptic rear suspension)
  • Midget MK1 (earlier rear suspension layout)
  • Cars with non-standard or modified rear suspension arrangements

What’s included in the kit?

  • Touring-grade polyurethane bushes for rear spring shackle ends
  • Correct quantities to service one complete rear axle shackle set

Technical details

  • Material: Polyurethane (touring compound)
  • Colour: Black
  • Application: Rear suspension shackle ends
  • Resistance: Oil, fuel, and road contamination
  • Compliance level: Higher than performance grade

Installation & setup notes

Installation typically involves supporting the rear axle, removing the shackle pins, and pressing out the existing bush assemblies.

  • Press or suitable bush tools required
  • Inspect shackle pins and mounting holes for wear before refitting
  • Light lubrication assists during assembly
  • Final tightening should be carried out at normal ride height

Limitation: While more durable than OE-style bushes, the touring compound prioritises compliance rather than maximum stiffness.

Why choose this part?

This touring kit suits owners who want improved bush longevity while retaining a compliant rear suspension feel for road use.

FAQs

Does this fit early quarter elliptic Sprite models?

No. Sprite MK1 to MK2 use a different 1/4 elliptic rear suspension layout and require different bushes.

Does this kit cover both sides of the car?

Yes. The kit includes the correct quantities to service both rear shackle ends.

Is this suitable for everyday road use?

Yes. The touring compound is designed to retain compliance and comfort for regular driving.
