      Or you could just get the bushes from Roughtrax and rebuild it your self for £5+VAT?

      I just did and it was a great, cheap fix!
      I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants!

          No. But I would, just in case.

          That's subjective. I'd say it was a piece of p!ss (5 bolts, if you take the idler off), others wouldn't be able to do it. Depends on how competent you are.

          Personally, I prefer amateurs to leave steering, suspension and brakes alone, but I'm in a very small minority. There's nothing really complicated in them, but small mistakes can have very serious consequences.

            Note this only works if the ball joint is ok, so if its failed the MOT check what they've failed it on. If its the ball joint you'll need the whole idler arm.

              Also the bolts are about five grunts tight, so it's not a job for an office boy!

                Idler bush replacement here.

                Although reading Jeffs post I think he means steering damper, could be wrong though.

                If this is what you mean then I have a procomp one.

                  I just had my tracking done , upper ball joint & a new pair of tyres ( which i hope to have for some time )

                  Would you still recommend getting the tracking rechecked ?


                  PS thanks for all your help I don't post often but you guys on here have taught me a lot & saved me ££££s....You no who you are,,, CHEERS

                    You could always take it back, after you do the bushes, and say it seems to drift to one side and have them re-check it for free?
