Only if you fit them to the back,
I knew there was something about polly bushes ..... it's been a while since my Omega days
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....

Yup Still going strong. Basically it's a short wheelbase Commodore wagon that happens to look like an Omega... That's to say the entire drivetrain and subframes are Monaro/Holden VZ rather than Omega B. |

I’ve only ever had one genuine ballpoint fail. And I ran all mine on genuine wishbones, which just kept getting refurbed apart from the first time when I bought a pair (back when they were dirt cheap).Had no issues with Febi or Delphi ball joints fitted to aftermarket arms. I didn't have the budget to spend £500 on wishbones so was quite happy to accept the life expectancy of cheaper arms and refurbish them as required. This.I thought that wishbones that had the harder polly bushes fitted had a tendency to crack A vast improvement at the time, but only lasted about 7k miles. I don't recall the make of the wishbone that failed, but it could have been anything from GM to ATP special. However, when fitted, those rear polys made one hell of a difference to the way the car drove. |

Yeah, never found a workable solution to the rearward bush, other than replace with another rubber one.
Poly’d fronts are fine |

Put a Kia Forte through its paces across the Los Angeles National Forest.I put a non descript euro shitbox through its paces this morning. Fun isn’t the word that sprang to mind. Shite was a word |

That’s where I get that idea from. Virtually all of the shagged ball joints I’ve seen have been on pattern arms. Most of them the shit provided (when they can be arsed to post) by ATP |
