About an hour per side, esp if you have a spare set of hands.

You will disturb front camber in the process

OK thanks - your comment noted Henry :y

Anyone got part no/nos of required items - looks to me like a large rubber bush and a bearing.

Pedders/Monkfish do a heavy duty one and a poly alternative for the Monaro, dimensionally the same :y

ATP on ebay.de probably do a reasonably priced pattern one :y At £7 the one I linked to above is probably made of cheese ::)

I bought and fitted a set of Lemforder top mounts from AllGermanParts recently for about £40ish but that included the bearing as well.  :y

About the same time Gixer had a set from Pedders which were a bit more expensive about £50-60 I think.  :-\

The Vauxhall mounts are 90288206, but are expensive. I got quoted £68 each back in 2011. Lemforders were about £50 a pair from ECP a few months back.

As you say, the bush is essentially in two parts, an upper and lower bush with a bearing in the middle.  :y

Sorry Al, I didn't open the link until I'd posted, otherwise I'd have seen that the part number was in your link.   :-[
