Front suspension bushes

Yesterday I replaced the rear bushes on the front suspension arm with the Powerflex system. It is early days but so far the transformation has been amazing. The steering is now more precise.
I suspect that the old bushes were aftermarket cheapies fitted when the lower arm was replaced.
