If you are worried about the new ones being poor quality and not lasting, keep the old ones you take out and get them 're-bushed'. Really push the boat out and strip them down and get them powder coated as well

Then if the cheap ones are knackered in 6months you have a nice newly bushed genuine ones to put back on.

I recently changed mine to the cheap ones (£44 for the pair delivered) and after chatting to a few people i'm thinkig about going down the re-bushing route

Any idea what the cost is like to rebush the original wishbones?

Sounds like we need to collect a load of old wishbones and go and find someone who's got access to a press..

I have a home made press and the correct drifts to fit and remove the bushes......it works out at 60+ quid for genuine bushes!

Mark, dave c, in previous posts you seem to be recommending the wishbones supplied by VSC:

Yet as posted above the ones I got do not seem up to scratch...

This is what I have:

At the very least the paint job on mine is cheap and nasty.... also. no mentioning of Boge on the rubber, all I found is a marking saying 'DK'... I wonder if VSC changed their supplier recently?
