Then I got to thinking .... Try not to do that too often as it tends to land me in trouble

Why do Poly bushes seem expensive ??, I guess the answer lies with the sheer number needed.
22 of the little beggars, that's 44 Injection moulded bush halves & 22 CNC machined, stainless steel crush tubes .... Sort of puts things into prospective, £4.50 per bush kit !!

Let's say, a few years down the road & your pride & joy fails its MOT on the nearside front, lower wishbone bushes !!??

£10 - £15 for a new pair of bushes begins to seem like a bargain to me.

Just the thoughts of this old duffer

I was going to state a similar point in my post but it turned into a short story so i didnt bother!

But you have hit the nail on the head there Ronnie, when you think about what you are actually getting (ie bushes for an entire car) and how important they are, its not alot to pay really
