It may work better but the problem is still there. It really needs two of those bushes in that location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_n_Mighty Inactive Members 1 Member For: 11y 10m 22d Posted 28/05/12 09:30 AM Share Posted 28/05/12 09:30 AM What was the previous cost of replacing the bush? Mine is clunking increasingly but doesn't show cracking yet, I am hoping it will be cracked in the next 6,000kms before its next service.I'm going to be close to the end of my factory warranty at the next service so I would rather have it repaired at the end of the warranty period.I'm just wondering on the previous cost as I am sure I will be doing it again the next time it fails.
