Have you done this?  Bushes from Vx or elsewhere?

I found the bypartsby.co.uk wishbones better than VSC. Slightly better quality visually and they've lasted a lot longer.


I've had a look at these, and they are only £14.46 each + VAT!!  Seems very cheap?? :) :)

Bargain - they cost me about £17 each about a year ago.

20k miles and 12 months later car still spot on.

  I did put new arms on my car when i got it 5 years ago as i got them at a price i could not say no to . The arm i took off, i put new bushes in and fitted them to my dads car. Those arms i again fitted new bushes too, and fitted them to my brothers v6 and all to this date ALL are still bang on. I used gen vx parts as i always do. :y

How much does that work out at for bushes and fitting?
