hey all
i work for a motor factors so i understand that this is a common problem that the bushes on my wishbones keep wearing out causing bad handling and tyre wear.

I know what you are saying.........but the way i always think of it....

You can either keep replacing the cheap shitty ones every year (whether you are paying someone to fit them also i do not know?)

OR....you can put those one and never need worry about them again, PLUS they also correct your camber so it will also save u a fortune in tyres, aswell as driving in a straight line on bumpy roads!! They will very very quickly pay for themselves!
