Purple company do but... £23 per bush per side so £100 incl postage. thats a lot of money given the size of them. especially since i can get wishbone and inboard ARB PU for a total of £116 any alternatives? for reference... 2x PFF1-806 2x PFF1-603

As and when my stock control arms are worn , then I’ll look to do these along with the other bushes Cheers Jamie She's alive!

I think they are around 30mm diameter, and assuming the metal parts are in good condition, then you just need an 8mm hole down the centre https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38524063...r=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Last edited by Jamiepm; 09/08/2023 23:10.
