The mechanic however has told me it will be £400~ all in which sounds ridiculous to me, after seeing the replacement video by Peppermint. Does this sound too expensive?

Im going to try replace them myself, but am struggling with part numbers - is it 31329239?

Finally, are all 4 bushings in the front all the same? I thought one of them has an oval shape hole.

TIA.
You need a professional to diagnose the problem it is going to be very expensive guessing ..

It could be anything from alignment to something bent .

On the xc90 with very similar suspension this is caused by the inner wishbone bushes , but let a professional who has examined them tell you that ...
