Alongside the standard 'softer' Puma rear wishbone bush with the void gaps, I notice that Halfords also sell an FRP type solid rubber bush for only £6.46 ('OCAP' brand - see link below). This seems a really good price - has anyone used these ?

They don't seem to have the lip edge turned over like the "FRP" style:

Only £3.36 at Euro Car Parts:

They do the complete arm for £24.60:

I thought they looked very 'cheap' like the rubber would quickly separate from the steel housing.

I remember FRP bushes used to be that price though.....
