I'm not certain what bushes they are but that seems fairly competitive.

I'll be going down the path of the new arms, my mechanic has also said my D bushes are also quite worn, I have no idea what they are as yet so if anyone has a good place to get them I'm all ears!

"D Bushes" could possibly be your sway bar bushes

How much do the bushes cost you tombie? My mechanic quoted $75 each (plus labour).

Does anyone know if these will fit? Says D3 but unsure about D4

Either that, or you work for nothing! lol

I just have reasonable mark ups on parts and my labour is nowhere near dealer pricing.

Hi Tombie

Do you just get them from super cheap auto?

Is this the correct part? Says available in 28 or 34mm

So the SuperPro bush doesn't affect the ride if only used on sway bar combined with oem on control arms?

In previous vehicles, I never found ride was noticeably different with poly sway bar bushes - control arm bushes do make a noticeable difference though.

Advanced Factors are having a super pro sale at the moment

Correct. Poly won't impact compared to the VERY firm std parts.

And Advanced Factors also does the rubber bush - as per Les Richmond style if you want to move away from HydroBushes but want a more compliant ride than Poly..

Does anyone know if I should I be buying the 28 or 34mm for the front sway bar?

According to the descriptions on eBay they both fit the D4 but I doubt that is true, here are the links;

Update for others interested:

I got hold of a set of callipers to measure and my front sway bar is 29mm so I assume that's going to fit the 28mm sway bar bush. I paid $48 including delivery for the super pro ones off eBay.

Haven't selected the lower control arm yet, having a hard time deciding as I'm concerned about ride comfort. Advance factors have suggested this one as a happy medium as the super pro one is quite harsh, but no idea how firm this will be hence the hesitation..
