Hi to all,

I need some upper control arm bushes, and I really don't want to source these from the stealers. I read a thread on somebody else's and saw he got his done in Nelspruit. I will need to get the whole job done in a day as this is my only car and need It every day.

Maybe If I can get an old one and have some bushes made up. I do have a contact for this kind of work.

Can anyone help?

So far I got a price from Interspares group, R1163 per wishbone and It includes the ball joint and bushes. Still waiting on a price from Milner offroad.

Just an update on this:

I eventually bought the complete wishbones that had the bushes and ball joints included for R2325-00, and had Autoquip fit them which cost me R1120. That was fitment, balancing, and camber adjustement on all wheels. Drove It far on the weekend which involved highway driving and everything's in order.

That is a really good price in my opinion.

Was this price for both left & right or each? Mine shot on 243000km and need to replace both sides.
