Bushes are 30 quid each …..
If its the wishbone bushes then you have most likely have 4 ….thats 120 quid right there.
250 sounds not bad to replace the bushes and a main stealer.
Being a lazy home mechanic without a press i just swap wishbones.
My mechanic being a lazy mechanic without a press also just swaps wishbones.
How ever wishbones for my motor are only 80 quid , take half the time to fit and seem to last long enough to make it economical sense…. Although i once had a ford escort where patern wishbones were made of cheese. Once drove missed an unmarked speed bump at 25mph and ended the day with both front wheels pointing at each other.
Having just wrestled 25year old metalastic bushes out my land rovers suspension the changing of complete wishbones is not a practice im likely to stop anytime soon.
