hi guys its been a while since i posted on any of the forums due to work and moving house. so am back now you cant get rid of me that easily lol.

Anyways i had the old brick in for a test last week and she sailed through never even got a single advisory which surprised me as it feels more like a boat every day when cornering.
So i am looking to replace as many of the bushes/mounts as i can. I already have a powerflex top mount and would like to use powerflex as much as poss.
I will replace the strut top mounts at same time.
Can anyone give me a full list of all the parts i need so i can start shopping around for the powerflex bushes and so i know what to ask rufe for.
cheers dob

well there is the lower part (spring seat) which i quoted for above, and an upper part (support plate). The upper part are no where near as common to fail and most of the time wont need to be changed, which is good as they are more than double the price of the spring seats
