Hi everybody,
Suspect front suspension bushes are not what they should be, does anybody know roughly how much It would cost to get them replaced
I live in southampton UK ?

marka,

If you have not done the control arm bushings...cost would depend on how much is bad and what kind you use to replace them, I recommend polyurethane. If it is the front end, the ball joints are worth considering when you do the CAs. get them both done and it will drive like a new car.

If you need the rear end as well, there is a lot of labor in that job and a $40 set of parts can cost you 10 times as much to install.
