wishbone bushes
Discussion
I have done almost the same mileage on mine (in just over a year) and they are fine.
Have you re-lubricated them since fitting?
You may also want to check that the bolts are still at the right torque.
The bushes do wear far faster than a normal rubber bush on a main-stream car but this is to be expected. I would not be concerned if they needed replacement at less than 10k miles as I feel this is normal. They are not, after all, protected from dust and grit.
Strip, clean, lubricate and reassemble every 3K to 4K miles and they will last longer or just replace when you think they are worn - your choice.

tokens and cover the postage and they're yours. They have been fitted but then removed before the car turned a wheel.
