ok cool, cheers Sean.

In the mean time, as not sure what shocks to get. Dont want to buy twice. Im was thinking of simply replacing the bushes. Is it easy enough to do on the front shocks. I assume I need to replace both the upper ones.

On the other hand if the bushes have gone and its causing knocking as I drive. Will it cause any damage? or is it just more of an annoyance?

Well, first because I don't have the tools to do it, but most importantly I'm positive that even if I tryed doing it myself, I would end up having to pay someone else to do it for me!

I'm very, bur very mechanically challenged!!

haha I see. To be fair, its a learning process, of which im at the start off. But, even trying to do it, and being wrong is a great learning curve in my opinion. But, sometimes things aint worth the hassle
