some options, lemforder w.bones same make as genuine from autovaux or similar about 120 a pair. Fia 50 a pair from vaux centre. Or buy some merle bushes or similar and press into spare wishbones then fit to car when bushes pressed in. Worth a search all well covered on here. Hth

I have just put a set of wishbones from VSC and they seem fine. Bushes look good quality and no problems fitting. 57 quid a pair delivered. I have some Meyle bushes to fit to the original wishbones and they'll go back on if I have hassles.

I was advised when I first bought my miggy to keep the original vaux units for rebushing as they were meatier and could take the rebushing. Whereas other pattern parts were too flimsy to take the battering involved ?

I bought a new pair from www.buypartsby.co.uk. Only £16.20 each. They look OK - should I be worried?

My bypartsby ones were fine.

I'd also recommend the FAI ones off Ebay.

Much easier to fit on a 2000 then a 2500.

The top bolt is very difficult to locate on the 2.5 passenger side.
