NOT buypartsbuy

Refitted originals with new ball joints and poly bushes

[Lazydocker]

Fitted new wishbones in July 2009, cost £51 for the pair including delivery to my house, these replaced a pair fitted in April 2007, again £55 per pair.
Two years and 44,000 miles between replacement.

Made sense to me

I've done the same... Fitted cheap ones from the bay 20 months ago... Think there may be a little play started but can't be sure it's not the road surface (or lack of ) in this weather

would be handy to know the makers name for some folk i guess? i know there have been several failures with buypartsbuy and first line items.

I often wondered about buying cheapo ones and pressing heavy duty bushes into them straight off...? but buy the time you have bushes, wishbones, and pressed them in your up to lemforder prices anyway.

Suggest keeping old wishbones and get them pressed later on

Can't remember TBH

The problem with mine is that the actual metal of the 'bone started rusting quite quickly

How long should a new pair of lemforder wishbones last  :question torqued up correctly of course

Don't know wether to replace mine or put polybushes in the wishbones on car at present :-?

short answer is, dont know, or depends on use...
long answer, with original equipment in mind and warranty claims they would have to last the warranty period at least. My theory,  4 years min. To many variables to say exactly, live by the sea and drive like a nutter in cold conditions with high mileage on buggered roads, they wont last as long as miss daisys in the suberbs in a warm climate. Some cars will still be original, but concidering the last omega was made in 03, I would change them on age alone i think, they cant be up to much by now i guess?
