I have a new set of the German ones with new drop links and track rods in the boot of the LPG Saloon with a new set of poly's just need to get some GM rears now and press out the fronts and pop poly's in and same with rears with GM's. They were going on the saloon but as that is now going for parts they will sit in the parts shed until needed. Which ever car they go on will not need new wish bones for many 1000's miles.

I would re-bush with a poly front bush, new rear bush if necessary, and slap them back on, with a coat of paint if they are starting to rust, TBH.

You won't need to pay for another suspension setup in addition and, as long as the metalwork is sound, it's as good as genuine.

I don't have a lot of confidence in these wishbones to be honest due to the way they creak when braking and maneuvering at low speeds which makes me wonder about the quality of their manufacture. 

Didn't someone here have one snap recently?

Didn't someone here have one snap recently? 

Only after fitting an "experimental" bush which stressed the wishbone more than a standard bush.

Check it hasn't rotted badly, and that there's a generous bead of weld around the rear bush mounting rather than a few tacks, and that there are no signs of cracks.
