None in for 2 to 4 weeks :(

So where do I get poly bushes from then?

Yep, they place an order direct with Merle in Germany once a month as I said earlier.

If the ball joint is bolted to the wishbone then you can take it off and reverse it if you have two of the same side wishbone.

One alternative and potentially more cost effective approach would be to fit Lemforder wishbones or bushes. I understand that Lemforder are the OEM for Vauxhall/Opel for these parts. The difference is that I paid £60 a piece (incl VAT) in March '98 from AutoVaux. More expensive than a pattern part from Buy parts By, but a third of the Vx price even with TC iirc. You pay your money and take your chance but half the price and 6 months life strikes me as a poor value for money in anyones book. The Lemforder online catalogue is here http://www.zf-trading.co.uk/uk_lem_en
