Two weeks ago I took the shocks off of the Vixen to find the condition of some bushes was worse than I had thought. The fronts being pretty shocking 
(sorry that's a really bad pun). The rears weren't so bad, but I guess the stresses at the rear are less with loads being spread across 4 shocks. Bear in mind these shocks have been on the car for over 5 years.
I've now had the shocks back from AVO having been fully rebuilt. For the relatively small cost of having them rebuilt AVO also supplied and fitted the new style bushes at no additional cost.

I have to say they have been really good. Very fair and very easy to work with. Hopefully the new bushes are a better design/material and will not collapse.

AVO do seem in the ball with it but then again it seems there’s a bit of history for them to be catching up on. Be interesting to know how much harder these are in-use!
