Default powerflex bushes

Anyone know in and around Essex who can supply and fit these bushes as Elites in Dagenham want £350 just for the bushes then £50+vat per hour to fit them


Cheers

I was recently shopping around for a full rear set, and Mike Rainbird was the cheapest I could find. He will supply only.

PM him for a price.

No I haven't fitted them, or even bought them yet. I'm going to get them fitted in the new year along with my other bits. I won't be fitting them, you don't have a dog and bark yourself.



The worst ones are the inner rear wishbones. Funnily enough, the ones I need doing on mine lol.

I've fitted a set, VERY time consuming and seriously annoying at times but easy really. As said had the most trouble with the wishbones and one front anti-roll bar one for some reason

Not worth the few hours labour you gotta pay IMO
