The Lemforder suspension arms come with decent bushes already fitted. They should last you a couple of years before you want to think about pressing them out and fitting polyurethane bushes  :-/

thanks Andy, are poly bushes better though? and what is the general lifespan of the other bushes in the wishbone? it's done 170k and they've never been changed, anyway since today my car is in limbo a bit as i'm on the hunt for Austrian papers for it so everything is really on hold till i can sort this problem out.
