Are you using copper grease on them? They need this so they don't stick and tear, also, are you using decent quality bushes?

Thanks for you reply hayesey yes I have been using powerflex bushes the perpel one and yes I'm a mechanic so I had a lot of copper grease , they where swimming in it lol

Ok now I had the car on the ramp and what I did notice that it looked like the anti roll bar was ripping it and it looked like it had been fitted wrong pulling to one side when some one had do the ARB blocks but when I moved it now I can't fit one off the stops one the bar lol it's weird because when I had the standard ones they never ripped up with that anti roll bar like that anyway

Thanks for you time

I've had this happen twice with Powerflex bushes too. If you whinge at them sufficiently they'll replace them free of charge.
