I'd be seriously worried if a Garage doesn't know what they are

what do these actullay do to the car?

they make it a smoother ride

 

[jamie86]

I think you can get different ones from them for harder ride etc...

Someone will know.....

I've got them fitted. Back end feels a hell of a lot more solid and the annoying knocking noises vanished - would recommend them

how much to get them fitted - its quite an arse of a job isnt it?

 

[Southey]

well this garage charges £38 an hour!!

I would like to know how long fitting would be.

Takes me about 4 hours to do a cento, but I am a bodger

Are there bushes on the front that a prone to failure. Looking at the underside of mine, theres what looks like used to be bushes sticking out the bottom.

Would you have any free time to help me out with a few things on my car pete, quite a treck but i know you know these cars better than a lot of mechanics ive seen! (one thought there was nothing particularly wrong with my car when the headgasket had gone in two places!)
