Well, went to visit Davey today at Honda ( lovley bloke ) got soem fluids changed and got it a once over.

Foudn out that the reason my toe wont go in is because the bush's have seised in the control arm.

So it time to book her in at CoG and let them do there thing.

The question i have it this:

Should i replace just the seised bush;s ?

Shoudl i replace the same bushes on each side ?

Should i bite the bullet and get them all done ?

Anone who has had bush work done, any comment's recommendations ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Well there is a fella on here that can give me control arms for

 

You can't replace single bushes.

Your main cost probably won't be price of parts, but labour for removing the old stuff. FYI it took a dealer 20 hours to remove my four lower suspension arms for replacement

See the Suspension Bush FAQ in my sig for lots more detailed info
