Cost and time to replace?

As I mentioned, OEM (hydraulic) bushes are very expensive. eBay has them - sit down before checking the price! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161002181940

I used aftermarket ones rather than OEM due to the cost. I reckon it took me about 2 hours to do, but that was a first time doing it and I check things out carefully (why not? I had the luxury of using my own time). I reckon it’d be doable in an hour (or less) for an experienced person. Then it’ll need a wheel alignment.

That's just the first hit....There are another 10 from sponsored items via ebay that are a 10th the price of those you posted up

I ordered this set Tuesday https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/254134236691
Had the car in for a wheel alignment Tuesday.
After finding one of the front castor bushes cracked, they did the alignment best they could & said replace them asap.

I had noticed it months ago, but forgot all about it.

The parts are due to arrive from tomorrow to next week?

Once installed l'll get another wheel alignment.

The set I have are aftermarket and worked well,
Front & Rear Radial Arm,
and
Lower control arm internal bush's,
They are very easy to replace,

I have also modified the front Left bush plate, so it won’t damage the Lower Radiator hose.
