I haven't busted 'em yet. :twisted: P-bushes were an ideal class of interference fit on genuine arms, eye bushes tight but with a pair of pressing mandrels made up you'd be laughing.

They're not OEM; I have seen OEM bushes and the markings are not Lemförder either. A stack of PSA rubber stuff seems to have the "Continental" imprimatur, although these don't.

Brilliant, just send me the price later and i will sort out some funds for you.

Adam mine arent bust, they are just so soft they let the wheel swing back and forth by about an inch if you try pushing the car with the handbrake on.....................

I looked last night and they only do the one type but the left side is about £12 and the right side is about £18 i think from memory, the picture is of the the same rubbish ones i got before so im not sure on that, aep direct have the same picture but their's are nearly £40 each although they do state they only use branded items with a list of manufacturers it will be underneath so again i will have to call them i think.
