Presumably to replace the castor bush on the front drivers side it will mean a whole new arm. Will be kicking off to get at the very least the geo free as Honda MOT'd and sold me the warranty only 2000 miles ago and then missed the issue on the big 54k service last week. I'm preparing myself for the call to say 'jog on' about the claim and then see what my options are.
Guess i can complain via my local branch to the waranty company faced up by Honda but underwritten elsewhere, or complain straight to HUK via local branch for some goodwill soemwhere along the way!

Bassoctopus Was saying you can get them from Hard top guy,
and you can get the spoon ones and the Mugen ones.
that would be cheaper than a new arm !
lol is the above correct

Even if you can buy them a UK Honda dealer will probably refuse to press them into an arm.
This means have to get the work done somwhere else. Not everyone will be happy going this route.

seems that for a single replacement it might effect the ride of the car and removing the bush without cutting arm may be an issue? More i read the less chance i think of warranty coughing up but still hoping!

Failing that, go see CoG and get him to fit a pair of new Mugen or Spoon bushes (he did mine), grease everything and do the geo. It'd work out much cheaper than the way Honda want you to pay for.

The problem with putting Mugen or Spoon bushes in is that you have to change the bushes in both front arms.
I got the work tool room to press my new Mugen bushes in, but I work in a big manufacturing plant, so it was no problem for them.
Tip: Make sure whoever puts them in, matches the arrows up to the old bushes
