The metalastik bushing number for the lower arm is 13/1408 30, I took this off OEM bushings in a rooted package, clyde

Has anyone tried the bushings from Rootes Parts: http://www.rootesparts.com/id103.htmThey claim that they are the correct "metalastic" type.

I have used the latest ones from SS, they are marginal at best, I can't speak to the rubber because they have no age on them yet, but I can speak to the not so good fit, they are loose after installation,  some didn't even need to be pressed. I bought a set of used lower arms from a member and they came with a set of OEM british bushings and they fit like they are supposed to,  I then took the set off my car that I had put the SS bushings in and replaced with the arms I got that had the OEM bushings, they were uninstalled in the original package when I got them. I don't remember the part number from the OEM but I googled it to no parts found, it's hard to believe that a basic bushing of that style can't be easily duplicated correctly, Clyde_______________________________________________
