Best place to buy front wishbones??
« on: 29 August 2010, 10:44:58 »
Hello all - I replaced both front wishbones sometime last year, now I have soggy pulling steering again - garage says one of the wishbones is u/s already.
They were bought off ebay, can't remember who the seller was.
I've seen Vauxspares have these at £25.00 which seems reasonable, but is the quality OK?

Thanks...

A lot of us are currently favouring Lemforder wishbones :

I bought a pair from AllGerman about a month ago. Arrived a couple of days after I ordered them :y
Before I fitted them my car was hopping in and out of the lorry ruts on the motorway like a terrier chasing rabbits. I have driven 2000 miles since and the tramlining is almost totally cured.

I did set the camber to -1deg10' both sides (it had been -2deg and -2deg40') so that probably helped :)

Yes - my last ones were bought on ebay but they haven't lasted and my chances of any comeback are minimal...so my new policy is to look for recommendation if possible.....
