    Your aligner only does the fronts?

    I wouldn't be impressed if that's the case...

    Well, i only had the fronts done. I asked for both but they said only front was needed. From what I've read on here and heard from my mechanic I'm just happy i found a place that returned the car steering true and without a broken camber bolt!

    Thanks mate, might be an option when these poly bushes go, these poly bushes are rubbish, ride is harsh, and makes it more sensitive to the DSC as well

    Andrew at LRA assured me that his bushes kept the NVH at factory levels while giving a much longer life. If so it definitely justifies the extra expense over the originals.

    Just a quick update. I've had the LRA bushes in for 20K now and the NVH is the same as the stock bushes. It is too early to tell if their longevity is going to be better but I'm very hopeful.

    I'm going to give the Advanced Factors supplied Meyle ( with a 4 year warranty on arms or 2 on bushes sold singular) bushes a go this time, these are NOT poly, although the rears are a solid bush, with the fronts still being a hydro people aren't noticing any difference. . Still undecided if I will purchase a kit to swap them out myself or buy new arms for $610AUD delivered for 2... Can't afford to keep replacing bushes every 14 months so genuine are out. Bushes and new bolts alone are 270 aud delivered....

    I see the Laser press is around $400 but with no attachments or hydraulic press, so it may not even do the job on a seized rear for example. . .

    This would be nice is I had a spare $1500. Toledo 311022 Universal Bearing & Bush Hydraulic Press Frame Kit | eBay


    Looks like i'll just be ordering new arms for the $610
