Hi James,

I have a spare pair but I'm in The Yorkshire Dales (near Masham). They're off a 2001 Jimny with 23,000 on the clock and they have never been used off road and include original bushes.

Where are you in the Dales? I was dragged up in the Peak District.

Cheers

BJ

I had a massive steering wobble on mine ,l i changed the kingpin bearings and it sorted the problem out.
