Read a lot about wishbone bushes going in aftermarket wishbones
Can you just change/replace the bushes?

The bushes are available, but I'm not sure that they are easy to change without a press. I've got a new arm in the garage and they don't look like they come out easily.

the time and labour u will spend to change the wishbone bushes, u will better off to change the whole arm to ensure u will not need to do this again. Plus if u will need a press to remove the bush, and if your bush is deterioting, just a matter of time before your ball joint causing u problem.

Wishbone bushes failing are only a common problem with cheap / aftermarket parts.
Genuine Peugeot parts last years, 6+ & still going strong in my case.

I'm not sure which one it is tho, the n/s was replaced 12 months ago
I thought just get some £60 ones(for the pair) and put poly powerflex bushes in them
Would work out about the price of 1 Peugeot one and I would of had both done

Genuine Peugeot wishbone around £120 each, bargain in my eyes 
Fit & forget part.

So Peugeot ones around 120 each
2 x wishbones £65
2 x front wishbone front bushes £50
2 x front wishbone rear bushes £50
All in at £165 for fully powerflex wishbones
Saving £75
