If you use non Ford suspension arms or bushes this is about the normal
life i've found on Fiestas, Mondeos etc.
Ford parts last a lot longer but of course cost more.
Some pattern parts don't even last a year so don't buy the cheapest ones.
The price difference between bushes only and complete arms with new
bushes and balljoints isn't that much so i don't bother changing bushes
nowadays, just complete arms.

My H4 failed its MOT last week on front lower rear suspension bushes –
again! The rubber bond between the bush and its collar breaks away on
one side and provides potential for excessive movement. In 13 years on
the road this must be the fourth time that I have had to carry out
this job, to the extent that I discovered that it is cheaper to buy a
suspension bush kit of both bushes from the local Partco stockist than
buying a single bush from the Great Founder and I now keep one set in
hand - just in case. The annoying issue this time was that in “The
Great Tidy-Up” last year when my workshop was rewired, the assembly
drifts and spacers that I had previously made for removing and
replacing the bushes disappeared – back to sockets as the next best
option.
Does anyone else suffer from this problem?
