i need to either replace the full watts linkage or the centre bushes.

Is it completely necessary to use genuine landrover bushes for longevity or are there any other reliable bushes that you would suggest ?

Thanks

I used superpro polybushes on mine, quality polybushes, not cheap crap. Ive also read aftermarket ones dont last so it'd have to be genuine or quality polybushes for me mate. Not a job you want to do again in a hurry lol.

I bought a kit which included all the metalwork/arms (reconditioned) as well as new Genuine bushes and bolts. That way, the garage could just cut off the bolts and replace it all with the minimum of time spent on the job. Costwise, there’s a hint of swings and roundabouts about it.
