ZX Wishbone bushes
Picked up the obligatory MOT fail on the ZX this afternoon - front N/S wishbone bushes. How nad are they to change? Or should I just spend the extra £20 or so and get a new arm?

They are easy to replace if you have access to an 'air chisel' to pop them out (did mine recently). If you attempt to smash the old bushes out with a hammer you may damage the metal arm itself. Depending on the age of the existing arm you may do well to replace the entire unit as it's the case that when one bush wears, the other will not be far behind.
Good luck.
