Thats ok then, i knew you would install them propperly but i was merely pondering. tightening the bolts before the suspension is loaded can cause the bushes to move when the car is back on the ground.

No, it's the seller's name.
He was recommended on this forum so I assumed his products were tried and tested. :evil:

Crikey this is bad. 2 months? Pretty poor

I have had mine on for just under a year - although I haven't checked them properly yet.
Will do this on the weekend and see the condition

I've had mine for over a year and no issues. Perhaps a bad batch Pushki?
