I think you just need one each side.
Dunno if you've seen this.

They both say 4 per car from wot I can see. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

"All bushes are part numbered and priced individually but need to be ordered in pairs
For example, Front outer track control arm bush = two per car"

Could that have anything to do with it?
I found it on the bottom of the site

lets see if i can explain this,,

the bushes i got,, there are 4 of them, 4 halfs,, 2 halfs to make 1 bush, so 2 complete bushes, one for each side

so i only have 2 complete bushes, but that pic says i should have 4 complete bushes,, well the part No. that i bought anyway,, ?

confused

If i only need 1 bush per side i will shut up [img]/biggrin.gif[/img]

Might save your transfer box but it doesn't do the handling and favours IMO.

If its not lowered, and the cambers out, theres somthing else wrong mate, so your missing the point completly.

Its either your wishbones, or suspension struts, maybe even a suspension spring snapped.

Check all these first.

i think i ave camber prob,on 18's lowered 40mm offset 40,,seems to be running on the inside of the tyre,and a bit of a handful in the wet, would a camber correction do the job for me,what sort of time would it take a decent mechanic,as tis not a job i would tackle
