Polybush.co.uk - dont bother!!

This may be a duplicate post (ish), but just to reiterate my advice in my opinion, do not buy products from Bonaprene Products Ltd, trading as polybush.co.uk

After catastrophic failure of my front wishbone bushes, after a month or so of use. No towing, no high speed turns, just normal driving. As per the photos attached, one side has completely failed. It seems the centre core has come away and is missing. I would have thought the moulding would have been made using one continuous pour but it would seem to be an insert and then bonded into place.

A danger to your car and possibly to life. The whole wheel, shock, steering assembly can be physically moved by hand...

Two photos - one for comparison. Note the metal wishbone pin..

May just be a one off? What's the company's response. Seem a little harsh to condemn them so quickly

So far one sentence from the retailer saying “we will look into it and get back to you”. No response from the manufacturer as yet.

Costs incurred so far - £335 for the bushes. £150 fitting. £64 tracking. And then they fail after one month. My comments are harsh? I dont think so....
