Just got back from my garage after fitting new bushes and Balljoints, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! the steering feels much tighter and the squeaking noise i had when going over bumps and steering are now gone... all ive got left to do is replace the droplinks...

Powerflex sent me rear bushes instead of front droplinks

i did have a slight knocking noise coming from my steering which was diagnosed as the play in the wishbone bushes... after changing them all no knocking

only downside was the wait for the bushes and then being sent the wrong ones
