Bare in mind that they are a total pain in the ass to change. I would change them for something better so either just polybush them or as the chief says.... WALK it!  :happy2:

160GBP new or about 120 second hand

What he said^^^^^^^^

Did not find it all that hard to swap and replace, funny enough the widow maker (aka scissors jack) came in real handy here

NEVER replace the bushes with the rubbish OEM ones !!

If there would be OEM only you should go for S3 bushes, but in respect to the fact
the Whiteline ALK does almost everything better there's one option only:

WALK it !!

Get the Anti Lift Bushes from SuperPro and save yourself some money over the Whiteline for essentially the same thing.

Have to be removed anyway and it takes 5 mins to press out and 5 mins to press in.

I think they are about £90 plus an hours labour.

five minutes?

I guess the labour will be more so that in the end the SuperPro bushes
aren't any cheaper than the Whiteline Kit.

The SuperPro moves the point outward and downward. But how will
it move the joint forward?

Compared to the WALK just a cheap compromise!

Whiteline (the maker) anti lift kit.

Buy the Superpro caster kit, it's cheaper and does the same - only requires slightly more work to press in the bushes.
