Just got the car back from the garage, asked him about the suspension.

"So what's wrong with the suspension then exactly, I don't know what a control arm is"

"Well, basically your bushes at the front on each side have gone.  but you can't buy bushes on their own, you have to buy whole new sets"

What an idiot!!!  :grin:  So what bushes shall Bob be needing?

Looks like I need some R32 bushes perhaps?  Could well get a garage to do them, looks like a lot of bloody hard work removing and fitting the new ones!  :grin:

What bushes are people using?  Some sort of mk4 ones, or are you using Powerflex?

I saw that earlier, good reading.  Which bushes are people recommending?  Go for the same ones again, or Powerflex?
