How long should it be till you change you tie rod bushes ?
It's been at least 9 years since they were changed.
And if so. would these be good to go?

And should the nuts be torqued up ?

No idea how long they last but I always replace them when ever I take the front suspension apart (every year or so) as they cost pennies in the scale of things. I've never liked poly bushes for the tie bars and tend to go for the heavy duty rubber one from Minits.

Are the heavy duty rubber one's a nicer feel when driving ?

I use the uprated items from mini spares, kit consists of two pairs of bushes one stiff and one soft per side, stiffens them up a treat, yes they need to be tourqued up but dont know the setting off the top of my noggin
