mk3.5 1.6si wishbone bushes?
ok this is getting silly now, it seems every 2-3 years im buying new wishbones because the bushes are nackered and the car is wandering all over the place.
I should have done this 15 years ago when the bushes first went, I should have gone for polyurethane bushes.
anyone know where I can get poly bushes from and whats the cost im looking at? seems to be im gonna need 4 bushes, 2 on each wishbone. anyone know what size they are too?
ebay seems to have a brand called duraflex, is this any good or is it flop?

FloFlex/Duraflex are ok but certainly not the best quality product on the market.
I would seriously recommend Powerflex, although expensive and really awkward because they do 3 different diameter bushes for the arms, they are the best option!

Powerflex every time, Deflex & Flo-flex are very poor in comparison,
Powerflex now do a black edition which I'll be fitting to my track car.

You can buy them direct from Powerflex dude. As I said though, there's a few different sizes so if you want to fit them to your current arms you'll have to remove the bushes and measure them first before you can buy new ones
