[Mr Skrunts]

have read various threads in the past Which manufacurer is regarded as the best for replacement wishbones.

Also will they be the same on my 2.5 GLS and my 3.0 Elite (Both saloons & auto)

Got a feeling I had an advisery on the GLS when I sorned it a while ago  so as it's a slightly newer car with 20K less on it I was going to replace the pair of WB and have them rebushed (as I think that has also been talked about on the forum - and also with the nylon bushes)  Then I have a reconditioned pair if the Elite needs any.

TIA   

Just dont want to fit cheap nasty parts any more, but then again, dont want to pay the dealers prices.

Speak to Jason Hunter, he can get genuine Lemforder (The OEM supplier to GM) for £62 a side next day or Meyle for £65 a side with a lead time.

I bought a pair of Lemforder rear subframe bushes a week or so ago..they cost £19=00 each and arrived in 48 hours.

That's my plan too!

A pair of Lemforder arms rebushed with Powerflex jobbies on the forward end.
Then a trip to WIM for the full works!

About three times the price, not sure if they're on TC.  I spend too much time reading threads on OOF and remembering stuff like this  .

I bought some cheap ones 8 months ago from motor factors. Stopped the tram linning but now its back. On inspection there is play in front bushes (soft rubber bush)so im going to replace with nylon ones from powerflex. They only seem to do the front wishbone bush so it must be a common fault .

They also do the 'anti-roll bar' bushes. Well worth doing them too.

Both my Carltons had to have the rear donut bushes done, living with the car hadnt realised it had deteriorated, but was peed off the the metalic clicky noise the inner metal tube made on the maount.  Had the pair done and it made a hell of a difference.

Makes me wonder what is worth changeing on the Miggy and if bushes are worth going the extra step to powerflex bushed.

Dont want to lower the car but would like to take some of the "wallowing " out of the Elite with out radical exspence.

Tony was rather pleased to see poly bushes on my wishbones

How much of a difference do they make.
