Astra is needing some bushes on the front wishbones.
I though of buying complete new wishbones from euro car parts and using their discount code to save the hassle of pressing out bushes. Would have to remove wishbones and take them to a local garage to get bushes done then refit myself.
Only concern is the quality of the wishbones and bushes they come with as they are cheap, anyone had any experiences with complete wishbones from ECP or similar motorfactors or brands to avoid?

Lemforder wishbone £43 (initially £60)
Q drive wishbone £28 (initially £41)

Every time I've needed bushes up front I've just replaced the whole wishbone as they've been cheap enough. Not had any issues with any of the brands tbh, all served me well with no problems.

They should be decent quality, any idea on q drive stuff or is it just general motorfactors quality? There was a 3rd option that was even cheaper but didnt bother looking at them.
