How much did it cost for the power flex bushes thinking of replacing mine

 

[chesh]

£36
bought them on ebay.

I was thinking of upgrading the front bushes too but it'd be cheaper to get 2 new arms and I don't know if I need to replace them. no knocking noises or anything.

If they are knocking I wouldn't bother until they do start

 

[Elxpunto90]

If they are not knocking lol
