Upper wishbone bushes
Thinking about doing this job to stop the squeaking...
I only want to do this job once.
Would you use the Febi one's from Just Kampers or are there better ones?

Re: Upper wishbone bushes
I'd go for lemforder
I have fitted both Febi and lemforder and the lemforder were quieter.

Re: Upper wishbone bushes
I fitted whichever the more expensive ones of the two were at brickworks. No squeaks after a year touch wood

Re: Upper wishbone bushes
Thanks all, and am I right in understanding that the camber should be zero (0 degrees)...ie that the wheels should be vertical?

yep level ground and a spirit level across rim to check, cut a piece of metal or wood to the right length to just sit against rim them spirit level on the wood to clear tyre.
mark the flat of the bolt on the head ( I scored a line paint rubs off ) then set this flat vertical by using the mark and you should be pretty much spot on.
