Stephen,
I have Powerflex bushes all round but I didn't fit them myself, my local garage fitted them for me.

I would not fit them at the front - they only fit the upper arm and the arms are not very expensive - if you fit a new arm, you also get the joint at the other end.

You can only buy Powerflex bushes for the upper arms on the 166. These are the same as the ones for the 147/156 upper arms.

Nobody makes bushes for the 166 lower arms as far as I know.

Thanks guys..... will install the back ones only. I also noticed on the box that they say 156 and not 166... will use the front ones on my 156 instead..

Thanks again..

Cheers
