Just had the 50,000 mile service done on my 96 C2, and the OPC said I need the front suspension bushes replacing - ie all of them including track rod ends( no problem) anti roll bar bushes ( no problem) but they say the swinging arm bushes cannot be replaced - complete new units required, and also the upright stabiliser bar from the anti roll bar must be replaced in its entirity, because you cannot just replace the bushes. Am I being fobbed off? £200 a time for swinging arms when all I need is the rubber bush seems v. un-porsche like.

although Poly bushes are the aftermarket alternative... and having been around the houses gathering opinions... I was unable to get a majority or consistent opnion to whether or not I should fit them instead of the complete replacement Wishbone arms.....

eventually I went for a set of OEM RS Wishbone arms as the wishbone bushes on my front suspension were completely worn out !
 
guys thanks for that - think I will look further into the replacement bushes - living in Belgium the roads are a bit unforgiving, and I might need to do them fairly often.
