>random question, not really anwsering your question but, my front bushes are fine but would i feel an inprovment in handling if i bought all new polly bushes??
just to update - handling is now amazingly better - my old bushes/ball joints were screwed. No alignment done yet due to seized tie-rod ends, VW want £600 (yes thats two zero's!!!!!) so some more work for me (£53 for parts delivered). So I guess it depends on the state of your current bushes.
Mine also needed new fronts, worn bushes = inner and outer's bald!!
As to the difficulty of the job - nowhere near as bad as I thought - just me being a total muppet. See my blog (
http://javalins.wordpress.com/) for updates and my thoughts on the DIY from Dan Reed (which is good btw).
