which may have been related to a wheel nut torque deficiency syndrome. 

You've been hanging around that Gixer fella too long. Last time I trusted him to do up wheelbolts on my car, I subsequently took it on an agressive 70m drive home from his place. Noticed a problem at my local tesco, with a lot of rear end movement when manuovering, and some strange noises.

Got it home, jacked it up, and undid the wheelbolts by hand.  Surprisingly, I still had all 10...

no problem on my cars. It's just yours "we" have trouble with.

Hi,not long had my N/S/F wishbone replaced,rear bolts practically fell out but the Bottom Ball Joint fought all the way even with a 4' wishbone lever.In view of the time to swap one for new over rebushing and new ball joint, i would go for total wishbone replacement every time, unless you have access to very cheap labour !

Firstly, apologies for the potential thread highjack but - for those knowing such things, what's the current best source for front wishbone polybushes please?  Would rather spend a couple of extra pennies for good/best quality but are they much of a muchness in quality?

I use powerflex. About £45 delivered from dc performance, possibly a little cheaper elsewhere.

You need to make sure your rear bush is in good nick, and the balljoint is sound, else you may as well change the entire wishbone.

Daz put new gen bones on at newent either last year or year before. Since fitting new discs and pads on the front I've been 'enjoying' the brakes at the expense of dust on the wheels from the Oe pads plus squirm on heavy braking. A jack up and prod with a breaker bar shows front bushes are suss. Rears seem fine so will do the poly in situ to keep settings.

I got mine from Eurocarparts, paid £45 but cannot remember if that was including VAT.

The only choice is Powerflex afaik... front wb bush/anti roll bar bush available.

So it's just a case of who sells them cheapest.

Hi Guys

well its wishbone week..........lol as soon as i can confirm i have the ramp for a day.

I have brought the wishbones from all german parts great guys also brought new drop links too. thought what the hell might as well they are half off any way. lol

Also looking at doing the front discs as i have to remove the caliper did the rear brake discs pads and shoes last weekend. As Andy C said at this rate you will have a new car lol.

Bonus bit i have found someone close by who will do the geometery for me and put the setting to those that Turk sent me from wim and not expensive ether that without the forces discount too  plus when chatting to the gent he sounded like he new about the omega and set up issues. Was impressed when i said i do all my work on my motor but we will see.

only thing left is the gas service and to get my car mopped.
