Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I've just polybushed my elite with some powerflex bushes I got cheap off eBay. I was going to recommend that no one ever again remove or replace a wishbone as I wearily made the passenger side back up, cold and wet through to my long johns and completely shrivelled up with a big brake calliper shaped cut on my chin.
Then I went for a short drive and it feels absolutely bloody brilliant. I only went round the block and over a few speed bumps. The steering feels sharper and much better all round (the roads in Sunderland are shiiiite). It doesn't feel as crashy and bangy as I expected. Why didn't I do this before?
I might do the mv6 as that seems tramline alot more than the elite. Now all I've got to do is refurb the rims and get geo. there's a non wim place up here that does full geo. Bo selecta.
Thanks to peeps for guides on wb and polybushes.
Polybushes rule!

Not a nice winter job....

To proper, WIM levels of accuracy? >curious<

Most will adjust to 'green' (GM spec), which is wholly inadequate :(

Factory spec is entirely hopeless. Use wim.

Is 1 degree 10 mins negative camber ok? On the front anyway. Ive never checked mine but on the front you can tell its alot more aggressive than that, although the tyres haven't really worn much on inside edge. Whatever it is it's got to be better than what it is now
And the place where I'm thinking of going can adjust to your specs, and the nearest wim is either Edinburgh or Scarborough
