Hi Simon, the bush was replaced at the same time as the control arm by a very experienced mechanic and I am seeking opinions from anybody who has bought and fitted either of the bushes/ housings (RBX101772 and RBX101772P1) from Rimmers... I am not sure if the parts offered by DMGRS, Xpart and Rimmer Bros are from the same manufacturer / to the same spec. Should anyone know if the powerflex bush fits the DMGRS housing then please let me know as I would consider trying that.
The rubber in the bush didn't seem as substantial as some I have previously had but it seems that the only available bushes are all like this.

Should anybody know of a source for the bushes with less space and more material then please let me know, likewise if anybody can confirm the bushes offered by the three companies mentioned above are the same then that would be appreciated.
