My Lemforder ones lasted just over 2 years, the originals 3 years, the re-bushed ones 3ish years and the cheap set 2 years.

I currently have lemforders with polybushes in the front.

Which is why I, personally, feel that the cheapies are OK for me because I have no labour charges involved in changing them. If I was paying someone to do it then it would be a different matter

2 years between WIM visits is, IMO, more than long enough and they aren't close enough to justify an annual visit "just in case"

Agreed but, what I am saying is that I am not convinced that the Lemforder ones are worth the extra 60-70 quid 

Which means we're both saying the same thing. I can't justify the extra for Lemforder. Others can... Each to their own I suppose

If I had to do some more, I would fit new rear vertical bushes (if required as they dont fail nearly as often) and polys in the front on the existing wishbones.....at a cost of £60ish

Must admit... That is the direction I think I'll be going

And if your only doing the front bushes, you dont even need to remove the wishbones!

That thought had crossed my mind

Although I doubt it will save me much time TBH... Think the last change took about 2 and a half hours including getting the tools out and putting them away again (and drinking a gallon of tea )

Mind you... I did the last set too so I knew things weren't seized

You can change the front without removing it?  That's a good idea... if just changing to poly's at the front etc.

Lemforder arms with polys?  I thought it was the bushes that failed on the cheap parts...  so what's the point in spending the extra, just get cheap arm and upgrade bushes?

Unless, as with me, I can't find anyone that does the vertical bush in poly....
