I got a set from CW (along with various other bushes), they are a polybush with a s/s insert, not like the originals. I never fitted mine as I wasn't sure they were correct.

Yes the originals give some for and aft movement
Will be fitting originals ...

The standard unit is more of a rose joint so there's not a big advantage of going poly here. Plus the standard bushes need to be pressed out on a hydraulic press - a bench vice and a couple of sockets usually wont be up to it.

Saying that, I've used the polybushes and have to say the improvement in front end stability is tremendous, this was probably due more to replacing them all at once though rather than this particular bush - I replaced it anyway as the poly bushes are that much cheaper and easier to replace in the future.

I have replaced the upper wish bones with nylon a few years ago i have a adjustable tcas with rose joints and am putting originals back in the bottom arm
I have a press and it took 3 tons pressure to remove the old bushes
hope this sorts the front end out

As a matter of interest, camber problems?

...oooooh, dont go there!

No just comming down the back straight at donnington hitting the brakes for the right hander the wheels feel like there dancing about,
