So after letting some mechanics loose under the car, three have said the bushes on the wishbone arms have seen better days, hence the play in the wheel, causing it to shimmy at 60-70mph,

Mechanic A doesn't tell me much and quoted me £120 to get the front corners done, which is suspiciously cheap? Probably using the old wishbone

Mechanic B says the bushes come complete with the Wishbone Arm and quoted me £226 for both NSF and OSF.

On another forum I've been advised it's best to change the wishbone arm as the bushes are prefitted.

Is mechanic B the better option?

Cheers
