Mine failed on these, on it's very first MOT in 2004
Cost about £100-150 I think, at Pumabuild.

Mine failed it's last MOT on these but I had a feeling they were on their way out. Cost £90 all in to get fixed, don't panic too much!

Hello,
I would recommend Power flex bushes front and rear.

Pumabuild do a complete Powerflex bush kit for the Puma, order them and get a local garage to fit them

make sure you order the two rear beam ones too as the powerflex kit only consists of 6 the front set. but the other two he puts on are the uprated frp ones

yes two do fit together to make one bush but still counted as just one I think 
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale
