What are peoples oppions on neaprean bushes particually (Pedders ones)
Got all new Pedders red bushes put in about two months ago and in my first trip off road (medium trip didnt even need lockers) the rear left trailing arm front bush disintergreted back side of the plate. Even the back trailing arm bush looks worn. Remembering these bushes are only two months old
Has anyone else had this problem.

I agree with HSV. Pedders has been my choice of springs and stab bars and bushes for all my road cars but in the dirt they are just to hard they usually rupture or wear the surrounding metal away. They also make the car noisy and the steering harsh. If you want to do a hot lap on a bit of black top go neo if you want to use the car in the dirt stick to good old rubber. just my opinion

Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Looking for a cheap alternative I went with Pedders. Within 5 minutes of hitting the track at Wederburn had to turn around and come home after both left and right bushes had shredded. It was a lovely day out & a even better trip home at 40kph ( haha ). Went with the rubber ones from TR spares. So far so good. Pedders will credit the bushes for you.
Neoprene is a type of rubber (the 1st synthetic rubber). I may be wrong but I would think the rubber used for suspension bushes would be nitrile also known as Buna N.
I think you peeps may be confusing neoprene with one of the trade names used for polyurethane (often coloured red, yellow or black depending upon hardness).
I would use rubber, not polyurethane for suspension bushes.

but Pedders use both Neoprene and Poly bushes in their suspension kits and as you say both are just pretend rubber. Poly bushes have their uses but they are somewhat specialised and as Rovernaut said hard as.
i just had the exact same problem
i just paid $$$ to have the left trailing arm ount on the chassis re bent and welded and new trailing arms / bushes put in
i picked it up a week ago and took it out tonight for its first trip and on the first hill my mate noticed a red bush on the ground that looks fres , so i reverse down and sure enough it has chewed away and fallen out of the chassis mount for the left trailing arm and the right one is about to do the same
the car has done less than 100 Km's since this was all done
and driving along the dirt track i can hear the rear diff moving forwards and backwards just waiting for the trailing arm to rip out of the mount.

plastic bushes chop out in hours not worth the time and money.
Plastic = all materials other than the rubber type as fitted Std.
std type bushes only.

also , i found out that they were pedders bushes that were in it , and pedders are playing dumb and saying its not their fault , even though the car did less than 100Km on them
must come with a concrete warranty (as soon as you leave their concrete , theres no warranty)

i am driving a 1987 county with a 3.9 isuzu with 3inches of lift, rear maxi drive and 34x9x16 swamper tsl's and this destroys standard rubber rear trailing arm bushes. am using a brand called "super pro" bushes made from some blue stuff. they are grooved and chamfered and flex just as well as the rubbers but are a lot tougher.
It's the one on the right, Dammit !!!
I always thought these stiff polyurethane bushings were originally made for sports cars and entusiasts that wanted stiffer and more precise handling. Would never think to use this stuff on a 4by, especially on the chassis control arm mounts (probably flex the most out of all the bushings). I think its been said before that the best widely available bushings are the stock rubber LR ones.
Had my bushes replaced under warrenty i shouldn't bothered i only got 400ks on the road and 200m up an easy track and busted it again
