I can reccomend super-pro polyurethane bushes. IME they flex as well or better than the holey bushes, and last longer.

I bought some rubber bushes from MR Auto (which they said were "OEM Quality" and "from the same manufacturer as OEM" and one failed after ~1500 km. I have since changed all bushes to super-pro.

One (or all) of your local auto parts shops should be able to order them in.

Great bushes, soft like rubber without the drawbacks. Many converts on Aulro, even some poms.

That is a big claim that I just can't agree with. Maybe I should pay more attention to the front end of others vehicles!

hmm...thats weird (if your talking about haultech bushes?) when i got them to do some work on my 90 last year they replaced the bushes becaause the 'were flogged out' - a little yes but mine where sid kings conical shaped ones and still had plenty of meat, but when i asked what the replaced them with they said standard bushes. i told them what they were and dwayne had never heard of them, i asked if they could get some from haultech for me and they said who? so i rang chuck and got some.

anyways prrretty sure haultech haven't made them for some time now, as i got one of chucks last sets. there may be some more floating about somewhere, have u rang haultech and asked sam or chuck?
