This job is so easy to do, I mean way simpler than I ever thought. So the lack of quality rubber parts at this point concerns me less.

I suspect it’s a 30 minute job at this point. It took me longer to find the flanges and cut the rod to make the press, then it did to do the rest of the job.

I always prefer quality parts. This is the first time in forever that Ive bought meyle. Lemfoerder, MB boxed or bust. My cars are nice and in great shape, are not dds, so will truly last forever, so it’s fine by me to pay more. But these bushings are NLA and since the job is so easy it’s not really worth the time to fret over it IMO. If meyle fails in a year of extremely limited use I’ll change my story. And I don’t go searching out the cheaper stuff. But in this case I’m ok with it.
