03 1.4 Front strut top bushes - CH
I changed the front strut top bushes at 80,000 because the front of the car was not sitting level (and I thought I'd change boith sides although only one side was actually causing the prob). The car's now done 124,000 and the left hand top bush has developed some cracks in the rubber insert again. The car seems to sit quite level, and it drives perfectly OK. Anyone have any experience of this? Should I replace yet again (it's a sod of a job), or is it normal for cracks to develop here? Is this a known fault with the Astra?
