Ahhhh....maybe that's it.

I gave it to Ford but didnt know about said grinding/filing down :/ knowing those blokes, I'm sure they wouldn't have known.

That sucks...but at least I can tell them where to look the next time someone touches it.

Cheers for the tip!

I installed the whiteline control blade bushes in my car over the weekend. Haven't driven it yet as I'm waiting on a new element for my fuel filter. They are easier to install than the SP items (which is interesting considering they are a steel shell bush. My only gripe is the locking collar on has one hole for a pin punch to tighten it which means you SOL if yours happens to land facing upwards as mine did.

I picked up a $29 Ryobi air hammer from Bunnings. Most good for knocking the bushes out. The first bushes took aprox 5 mins to determine the best method and it was out. Second bush took all of a minute. A quick dress up with a die grinder and buff wheel and she's apples.

That's not a bad price

Is that straight out buy or exchange?

I fitted whiteline control arms 2 weeks ago, massive improvement. Cost me $107+ gst per side. (I pay 5 percent ontop of cost for anything from Whiteline through my supplier, im not a distributor but im priced up where I might aswell be lol)
