worn front suspension bush
Honda are saying that they need to replace the whole front suspension arms (£700+) due to a worn front suspension bush, which I'm not so sure is required.
What are my options for just replacing the bushes? I know you can buy after-market ones but can anyone give me any recommendations?
Also, as it will be going to my local mechanic to do - how long on average would it take to fit them (I know the old ones won't be easy to get out) given he has the appropriate tools?

Do yourself and your mechanic a favor, and go Powerflex.
They are superior in every way. Other brands require torching and leaving part of the old bushing in place which I think is pretty sad.
