    save me a spot on the next order Jmac. When I had the car the hoist on the weekend.... my mechanic showed me the movement in the standard bush....HUGE!

    Also, my 2006 model has a small split in the standard bush, not good.

    I also made a video on my phone of how much it moves but can't seem to get it to work on my PC.... i'll keep trying.

    ok here's a couple of videos i got yesterday whilst the car was on the hoist.
    you can see in the first video how much the bush moves..... and i point to where the small tear is in the standard bush. this car is only 2.5 years old and the bush is already buggered.



    this video how much the wheel moves backward and forward when the suspension arm is moving around.... there's a fair bit of movement.

    Wow, the movement allowed by the bush is huge. your particular bush looks in pretty bad shape, hope mine is looking a bit more lively...

    How hard was it for them to fix? Cost much / take long?

    Well done mate, very informative.

    Hey guys , with luck the bushes will be dispatched in the next 2 days from Scotland. Then we will be looking at around a week for postage.
