i need to replace my suspension bushes as the mechacnic told me about 8 months ago that they are buggered, as a result i've had lots of squeeks for basically that whole time. just a quick question, if i replace the original bushes with decent urethane ones, will i need different (new) ones again when i replace my shocks in a month or two, or will i be able to keep the same bushes?? anyone recommend a particular brand of bushes, if so how much and where from for the set?

Depends how they are when you change your shocks over but I would of thought most shocks come with new bushes anyway.
Nolathane, Superpro, Mackay, Kelpro all supply urethane bushes, Nolathane have a pretty good name.
If you have to replace the chassis to rear trailing arm bushes I'd go rubber as the urethane is too stiff IMHO to allow full movement.
