They actually look good quality and I thought Mr DTM also used them sometimes (may be wrong..)

Can you post up the piccy PLeeeasee? ;)

I popped a new pair on last night but it was dark by the time I was finished. I'll take some pictures tonight.

I expected the front bushes to be damaged as I had torqued the bolts in the wrong way (with car jacked up) - but it was the rear bush that concerned me most!

I'll post em up later on  :y

Thanks mate.
do you think it was more due to not torqueing on the ground, or just crap bushes?

I can't really see how torquing them in the air can affect the rear bush. The bolt is vertical.   :-/ Front bush is understandable but the rear ones are the ones that look shot.

The cracking n the front ones is defo down to not torquing up on the ground - the rear ones... who knows. THe bushes appear to be slightly different arm to arm, but one of them has beome unbonded from the outside edge  :o I thinkthat is purely down to quality.

Those arms have done about 9-10k iirc
