They both wear but the front bush has more forward/rearward motion control of the arm than the rear and therefor fails quicker.

Very wise comments and it helps.  If I may add the front ones are perhaps the furthest suspension joint (other than the sway/anti-roll bar) and as such also has the most movement including up/down around the pivot point at the front bush location.

Further in you get from the rear and the front the car is mostly rigid framed and as such movements diminishes with distance towards the centre of the car.

Finally fitted them and they are a huge improvement, not going to have the 4 wheels fully aligned and set accurately then see how it drives. If it doesn't drive nice after so much hassle it has given me, it is going and will be buying a Volvo V70 T5
