Front suspension bushes DO NOT FIT THIS TYPE!!!
 
These lasted less than 1000 miles and now arms moving around worse than before, I cant see how they can possibly work there just isn't enough rubber GRRRRRRRR!!!![IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4652/...6cc20d031d.jpgbushes by Mangizmo Brean, on Flickr[/IMG]

Just received these, they look FAR better

Where did you get the dodgy ones and were they cheaper than a chip supper at three am?

Bought them on this forum, wont name the supplier but just beware, the Unipart ones are clearly far superior, now I have the hassle of fitting them for a second time, the dodgy ones haven't collapsed or anything but they just distort and allow the arms to move, total rubbish !! Oh and they were more expansive than the branded ones !!

Dont name the supplier but let them know. I'm sure they'd want to know and they'd want a chance to put it right.

there appear to be three different bush assemblies there, I cant work out which ones supposed to be the ok ones?

This is the new Unipart pattern, I am hoping these will be OK

This is the pattern of the ones I fitted that are no good

I know people knock them but I fitted Powerflex's on The Pretty One & no issues whatsoever.

if they are not any good speak to trader. if no joy then why not name supplier? why let other members perhaps buy stuff that is substandard? Often see posts praiseing traders why not have posts when things go wrong?
