If it's just the front bush, fit poly, wishbone on the car.

If the rearward bush is also failed, which it likely will be, then replace the bones as said.

Always change steering and suspension parts in pairs, btw. Don't just do one, the car won't drive straight.

It`s all original & now 11 years old with 47k miles on the clock.  There is some wear in the nearside. But the off-side  front bush is chronic. Think I`ll take a punt on Al`s link  ;D mileage is tiny about 4k miles a year
 Cheers guys  :y

Good stuff.

Remember to torque the front bolts wheels loaded. :y

Then set up. Then tyres. :)

I fitted ATP wishbones about 5-6000 miles ago and all good so far!  :y
