    Not the brand but the kits on both are identical all of my bushings are all worn out never replaced them. My front driver control arm is metal to metal to its mounting point so hoping I get them in soon so I can change them all and alignment isnt going to be a piece of cake neither

    Seen on a honda forum that prothane bushings are cheaper and stiffer at this point I just need new bushings and as far as the squeeking goes Im going tonhave to lube the hell out of them. The inner of the bushings of course.

    They have arrived already - I’m in the UK and they came in less than 2days!!
    Incredible service- I hope the parts are as good!
