Are they the ones that fit just in front of rear wheel?

Can you make a judgement on the ones on mine, as reckon they are 'past their best' ::)

Grays - Essex.

Yes, excellent prices and they also do the wishbone bushes etc to.

The parts have arrived, nicely made (as you would expect!)

Fitted pretty easily.....my tips.

Remove the old bush with a claw hammer, this requires much swearing and standing on the hammer handle!

Remove the rubber upper cup (it lifts out)

For insertion, place a small piece of wood between the trailing arm and floor pan.

A bit of soap around the bush.

Get the orientation right

I then used the jack to push the bush in....and it went all the way in first shot.

Drop the jack again and re-fit the upper rubber.
Re-fit the plate.
