Bushes

Ok here goes.My baby is goin in for her first Mot (with me) and I have a clunk from the back end when I'm turnin.Its probably a bush gone south.Done a search on here and had a look at the britpart/****part debate going on. 60 odd % reckon that britpart are at best sub-standard crap thats best avoided .30 odd % reckon theyre good value for money ? and about 3% couldnt give a ****.
So whats the best to fit and where from, cos if I'm right and it is a bush the rest wont be far behind.I would rather fit once and be done with it, dont want to fit cheap junk but dont want to fit expensive junk either.Not done the off road bit yet but its coming so as she sits the now shes a standard 1999 plate Td5 Disco with air on the back and leaky ace all round

you get what you pay for, ive found em ok so far, but i dont expect quality for the price

Get some Flo-Flex ones from MM4x4 ... great value for money at around £60 for a complete set ... in the process of doing mine

I spray them in GT85 for a couple of days before I start but it's still a pig of a job. I've done the trailing arms (right bastard) and the panhard rod (not too bad) but want to do the radius arms next (seems like equivalent of the trailing arms) but other jobs keep getting in the way!
