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.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. 
... Still Sprintless.
Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.

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 a press and it took 3 tons pressure to remove the old bushes
hope this sorts the front end out
