Thanks Jit - thats the wrong picture then, but i do need one for the upper arm and also lower arm, wanted an idea of how much a garage would charge to remove old and fit new one - and also any garage that would do it near me

hmm pressing in bushings isnt a particularly hard job tbh. Any competent garage should be able to do it...i dont know of any local to NW.
I reckon you will get charge 1 hour to remove and refit the arms. And then another hours labour to press in the new bushes. Thats each side so maybe 4 hours labour/
