Go to the local motor factors and buy the uprated bush kit,not much more money and far better than the original crap...

They will fit but as said are no good.
Best long term is to go POLY such as SUPERFLEX, 01749 678152.

Like the Diva said, fit the bushes you usually get from a motor factors.

I've heard them called 'taxi bushes' before. They're only a fiver a throw.

I can see problems with the difference in ARB diameters if you fit poly bushes intended for a cossie (although the section of ARB the bush fits over may be the same diameter on all sierra's )

So don't buy them then is the general concensus? lol

How do they fair to completely standard rubber bushes then guys, or, better still, 15 year old, now non existant bushes

They are just a lot stiffer than the standard round ones,the front end will feel a lot more positive and they last a lot longer than the standard ones too..
