It's easy. Polybushes slide in easy.

Very good modification, front felt so much tighter.

Do you have to cut old ones out?

Depends how rusted in they are. Diamond Hell fitted mine a few years ago. I think he did cut them out yes.

Being only the wishbone bushes I'm thinking of doing first do you think it's simple enough to do myself?

Do they just push fit into the wishbone?

Grease the up and push fit, then there's a metal sleeve that you can also push fit, but it might be a bit tight (it's supposed to tighten the bush into the seat) so it's probably going to need a few taps from a hammer.
