guarantee'd for 2 actually...

No, I cant be bothered fully removing, sending back, waiting, getting new, refitting and doing the same again in another year.

Sorry to say its easier to say sod it and fit poly on the car with 1 just 1 bolt to remove.

I have poly's in the front of my TD wishbones, (Delphi's fitted a year ago, don't say it, I know!!!) but the rear bushes have now gone, so I shall put the Lem's in as standard, then fit the poly bushes rescued from the Delphi's when, and if, the front bushes go. :y

Well if, as per the received wisdom, Lems are OE, and my originals lasted 100k on the TD, I'm hoping to get more than two years out of the new ones, and then, if necessary, fit the, almost new, front poly bushes salvaged from the Delphi's. :y

I don't think the current lemforders are the same quality as what leaves the factory :(

I rebushed my MV6 a couple of years back with GM bushes, I'm sure GayBoy will use any opportunity to check them, be interesting to see how they have lasted.

The Elite is Poly'd at the front bushes of wishbones, its highlighted a wheel balancing issue I'd never noticed before :o

I put poly bushes in my original wishbones a few months back. At the same time I did the rear doughnut bushes, new tyres, and a full WIM setup!

It was like having a totally new, factory fresh car underneath me!  ;D 8-) :y

Mine were rebushed by Vx about 2 years (15k) ago (before I got it) and there seems to be a little more play in the fronts than I'd like... Poly's are on my shopping list ::)
