Haha yeh I know cheers john. I meant for which part? I have some spare powerflex rear arb bushes but they might not help with arms lol. Mind you im not sure powerflex bushes will help with my arms after a gym session either lol

I have Powerflex rear wishbone and ARB bushes on my S2, I think I still have the receipts from the previous owner in my service history so will dig it out and check in the morning.

Also have Superflex subframe bushes, which are great and I know I have the details for them as I purchased them to replace the solid alloy items which were horrid.

Thanks all...I meant for rear wishbones also, how snug are they when fitted within the wishbones as in is it a press by hand to fit the reason I say is that I'm sure I saw some a long while back that almost seemed loose in there so couldn't understand how they'd be a better alternative to Oem.

I have the black ones. They fit fine and are the same as the pressed wishbone front ones, 37mm diameter IIRC. Getting the old ones out is the hardest part.

thanks Andy, that was what was spooking me originally was the size being suggested as the same as the fronts....been so long since i saw a pressed front I couldn't remember whether they were actually the same size.

Managed to borrow a hydraulic press so hope to get all of them out in an evening and then slot the poly ones in this week. Annoyingly, I only changed the fronts with oem last year and the n/s ones are fooked already. Look forward to some nice, tight and (hopefully) non deteriorating bushes for a change!

Aye, all pressed ones are the same at 37mm and the forged are larger at 44mm (+/- 1mm depending on manufacturer's description).

The bushes are just inadequate for the job; the OEM bushes in my Clio's wishbones are many times stiffer and are reinforced too
