As the title really
My bushes are boogered and I can only seem to find solid DL's for UK spec wishbones, I need ones for ally wishbones.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, I went to the site but they only do the bushes for the droplinks for steel wishbones (UK).
You are correct in that I have solid droplinks but the way they are designed AFAIK its all one assembly that includes the bushes, its not a simple bush that you can push a bolt through either

justin, u sure they have bushes at all? i thought they were just like two ball joints on the end of a very short shaft.
edited to say i remember now, they are as above and the rubber is just the seal for the ball joint like on the track rod ends.

I made my own replacements for my 93 WRX cos I couldn't find any replacements.
See http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?ThreadID=109402
If you want some I can make them for you. Cost price.

Thanks all
The UK does seem to be void of these things...however GGR seems to stock them, part No. GGS253. Looking at the exploded diagram it looks correct - No.14
A phone call confirmed that it will fit my car but then again they said it fitted all Imprezas
Anyway I can send them back if they don't fit - if thats the case then Mark I may well take you up on your offer
Cheers

Got them! they were correct
Credit to GGR, next day delivery as well
Stu, you're spot on with the description, its a complete assembly - it was the rubber bits that hold the balljoint in the end caps that had perished, makes a horrible clunking noise at the mo, not on Saturday though!
