Front end bush kits

[Eddleston]

Afternoon All, 

Do any of you recommend any type or sellers for a front end bush kit? 
I've found loads of places that sell what I'm after but a few seem outrageous prices. (Like double what my old hulix cost) 

Any suggestions very welcome.

General consensus round these parts is:

Peugeot OEM bushes tend to be the best to go for unless you are running an awful lot of torque.

Meyle HD bottom arms a good bet also and come with a 4 year guarantee.

I'm running powerflex black front and rear p-bushes with lemforder balljoints on oem arms.

As to sellers, there is not usually a massive diff in price these days

After what you said volcane I rang Peugeot. 
They said I wasn't able to get only wishbone bushes, I had to buy the wishbones too. I'm not spending over £300.
The bloke on the phone also said I could get the bushes for a citroen that has the same wishbones. Is it worth me ringing a citroen place and asking for bushes for a ...... ZX? 

Alternatively if I buy one of these will i just be able to get on with the job?

And are these too cheap to be trusted?

Don't get the bottom set, no name bushes are shit and should never be produced.

Get these arms

They are highly discounted as they are getting rid of old stock.

Thank you! 
Ordered!

Only issue I've got now is that they only had one ball joint left...
Any other brands recommended?

And shall I get these while I'm at it?

Just get the meyle HD wishbones. They come with ball joints and the front and back bush. They're about 150 I think.

Genuine items always personally
I have lived and learned never to trust unbranded items...
Lemforder is a good brand and febi if genuine ones aren't avaliable

P-bush i recommend the Partner/Berlingo genuine bushes i have had mine for about 4 years and they are still very tight
They look like this:

The drop links you have listed there are unbranded i would stay away from those buddy

I've seen a few problems crop up with the meyle HD arms, a couple of snapped bushes and some that wear rather quicker than you would expect for something that expensive. In my experience as long as you stick with a recognised OEM supplier you'll be ok, Delphi, Lemforder, Lucas, etc.

you can get the rear bush from peugeot and citroen for the vans, about £20 each.

front bush as you've found out is annoyingly not listed separate to the arm by the dealers themselves, though they do tend to last a very very long time as all the heavy large forces go into the rear ones, there isn't that much rubber in the front bushes (which is why they're better than a poly bush)

thankfully motaquip often are o.e bushes, LVSK623 is the front bush, lsvk 624 for the rear for the standard steel one, find a local factor that do them, they are very cheap.
