Excellent work Steve. I am in the market for a new arm in the near future and it makes sense to do the bushes at the same time-this appears be a definite upgrade on the standard rubber ones. I will certainly be interested in a set

Just had a look at my rear bushes and they ain't great if I'm honest so will be up for a set of these as and when.

Mine will need replacing this summer, so i am interested

How much will they be?

Can you tell me the grade of PU you are thinking of using?

mrufff · 14th May 2014, 18:24

We all what I can say is that two different materials been used. Inner part is harder to cope with tension from wishbone and main part is soft enough to provide decent ride comfort. Two independent parts causing that bush is twist proof. And it was biggest problem with original mono element design

Can't say yet as .....I don't know. I was very busy as I still have a full time job so I haven't got the time for proper final calculation. As mentioned before I will try to keep price level in 40 45 sterling's range. Now is all depends on logistics costs and formal charges. I think it's still not bad.

Maybe it's not a best marketing strategy but for one car you need one set.
fit and .....service it every few months maybe once a year and you will never need to use second set

cost of maintenance should be about 20 minuts and 5 pounds per year.
plus top secret special tool for example small injection pump.
