    Powerflex make them for the Clio and they are pretty easy to get hold of (any Powerflex distributor or Ebay should provide them). I have the full set (wishbones, inner ARB, outer ARB and dogbone) on my track car and the dogbone and inner and outer ARB ones on my Williams. The wishbone ones are a bit trickier to fit as you are supposed to weld the sleeve to the wishbone once it has been pressed in. The dogbone and outer ARBs are both a doddle to DIY fit. The inner ARBs are a right pain! After just about managing to do my track car ones when I had the subframe off for powder coating I learnt a few tricks that allowed me to do the Williams one with it all still on the car, but it is hard to get the inner ARB clamps back on. Once you manage to get the bolt through the hole and the nut on the end so you can tighten it up it's a doddle!

    There's a new design for the wishbone bushes that mean the sleeves don't need welding in but they are a bit more expensive

    New design




    Old design

    Ooh, interesting. May consider doing it to the Williams wishbones one day then! Is there any difference in the density of the poly between the old purplish ones and those black ones in your pics do you know?

    No idea tbh, all I know is that the metal sleeves are totally different

    No they're different & looking on the powerflex site it seems that the non weld new style has only been done for the williams
