I'll have a dig about the weekend mate and let you know

Can't remember if I had the bushes pressed into my exisiting wishbones and put back on the car or i used the new ones and pressed the bushes into them  :undecided:

They do have new balljoints on them but I will warn you that they're Ebay specials  :lipsrsealed:

ah right, let us know mate. was lookin for genuine second hand ones as i think sometimes fitting poly bushes to non oem ones can be abit of a pain.
