Give me one good reason why I should not junk the ones I replaced with Lemforders yesterday. I have rescued the poly bushes from the front for future use. :y

The Delphi ones I have seen had incredibly soft bushes. So soft it was possible to press I finger into the rubber itself. There was a spate of complaints and failures on here about a year or more ago and one member reported a recall from Delphi.

Leaver the wishbone out from the subframe. It should be very firm and with a torch there should bo ne cracks or splits visible in the narrow gap visible to the rubber itself. If it flaps about easily bin it. Rearward bush is purely a visual thing to see if it split away around the edges.
