Peugeot Anti rollbar Bushes
Trying to work a price out for fitting some new front anti rollbar bushes to a Peugeot 307 estate
Had anybody done one of these and if so roughly how long did it take ?
The Bushes are £15 the pair (£35 at peugeot  )
Thanks

Take care when buying there are a lot of cheap and nasty or ounterfeit anti-roll bar links on bushes on the market that last less only a few
months.
don't buy anything that isn't QH, FEBI, First Line or Lemforder.
Note one big name OEM manufacturer missing is not list as i have seen 4 cases of what appeared to be Delphi anti-roll bar links failing
premature on Rovers, in one case actual complete failure in less than 7 months. I have no idea if it was a genuine Delphi item or a counterfeit.
The low quality parts can be spotted if you examine the dust boots, if the rubber looks thin, of poor quality and roughly finished don't buy.

For drop links you might want to move Meyle up the first place in that list. I have just fitted a full set of these German made parts to my Civic,
and whilst they weren't cheap they are very well built, substantially heavier duty than the nasty pressed tin OEM parts. They are guaranteed
for 4 years as well.
For Japanese cars "Blueprint" parts are usually either the same as OEM parts or very similar spec.

Thanks for that
Replacements are 'First line' ones
1/2 hr on the driveway sounds optimistic but it gives a good idea
Thanks again
