Here's a link with some cracking pics of the Polys and how they go in, courtesy of an OOFer on here, Humbucker. If you thought your Omega was in nice condition, avert your eyes now... 
His cars always come out better than brand new, truly exceptional

So, I'm getting un-even tyre wear on my front ditch-finders, to the point where they are about shot. I'm thinking its likely to be wishbones as the current set have done 13yrs and 68k of service. As the car's a keeper I'm looking at the whole shooting match: new wishbones and a proper geometry setup, followed by some new tyres!

i don't know how you lot drive but my wishbones have done 92K so far. my last mig which i had from new did 190K and went to the scrappy with its original wishbones intact.

i had uneven wear on my front tyres at 69K, bald on inside edges. a decent camber and toe adjustment by a specialised company fixed it and they wear very evenly now.

It's a good question, other than running it up Kerbs (which i don't do) or going over speedbumps too quickly (again not me) I'm not sure what aspects of driving style would impact on the life of your wishbones? Typical road quality maybe?

Of course, I can't comment on the old duffer who did the first 55k in it

Thanks for link to rebuild thread, DBG. Fascinating to see how breather box, thermostat, oil cooler, etc. fit together, on the stripped down engine shots.

Mine seem to need refurbing about every 20k. Obviously that's the rearward bushes, as forward ones already polyed.

The roads are abysmal, and we've wrecked no end of Omega wheels, plus we has a series of vicious speed bumps round the corner. Oh, and I've launched most of the Omegas I've owned on some of the roads around here.

Of course, it has nothing to do with your driving style

You've been here often enough to know how bad the roads are Even the A43 that was resurfaced a few months ago is shagged (hence it keeps getting closed now for resurfacing)
