shock absorber bushes

Bushes on my Escort rear shock absorber are shot, looking on the Internet there appears to be bushes that could be suitable, has anyone else tried this? Thanks

Yes I have used them a few years ago on my BGM shocker. At the time the BGM bushes were not available. From what I can remember they weren't too hard to fit. Still on there now and still ok

Done a set on a Escort, no drama easy to do. They were just ones from India, at the time really cheap but they seem to have crept up abit in price.....blame Brexit!!

Lol I got mine from here
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAMBRETTA-RE ... SwbShbLj~A

because no one else had them at the time I was looking but there are a lot more on ebay now. Majority look like they've come from the same factory so there are some a couple of quid cheaper. The BGM ones were expensive compared to these, although as I didn't buy any cannot comment on their quality.
