That’s really bad re the crack in the weld.

However were you tightening front bush with car on the stands? If so you will compromise those front bushes

Nope on the ground. 

It was a tiny crack, but wasn't going to heal up!  It obviously didn't like the extra stress that the polybush put there. 

Might have been a side effect of pressing out the old bushes. Unfortunately we'll never know.

Mine took no end of abuse... One positive of plod springs is the apparent ability to take speed humps at speed.

No I spotted the crack before pressing out the bushes, and fitted the polybushes and GM rear bushes to a different set of wishbones I had kicking about.

This doesn't apply when polybushes are fitted. 

I know mate but he said the front bushes didn’t last long... he then polyd them 👍👍👍

And then repeat next year, if you like a car that handles properly

I do like a car that handles properly, but I still can't understand how you manage to knacker so many parts so quickly.

I suspect our definitions of handling properly may vary.  Also our definitions of a spirited ride.

Clearly driving it harder does put more stress and wear into the suspension and steering components.
