Replacing antiroll bar bushes is quite simple and the same applies to shock adsorber bushes. The latter wear out only after a very high mileage. This indicates that your car has perhaps done more than 145,000 km.

Q: Upper and lower suspension bushes. Is there a common cheap part from another vehicle that may be used to service these items?

A: not to my knowledge; bushes are available from specialist suppliers in the UK. For example you may try omicron@paston.co.uk or Don Proudfoot (fax: 44-1508-471408) but there are some more.
