hi. the subject of good and bad wishbones have been discussed as I see on here many many times.i have one question thou.i have changed a few of these in the past and never really noticed the type/style of rear bush. Bear with me ! . just last month after my brothers car started braking strange and pulling to the left by a set amount we traced it to the o/s arm vertical bush usual tearing of rubber.so I rang a few factors to see if anyone had an arm in stock to get it so I could fit it before Christmas. I went along to a very helpful guy in Huddersfield who had a pair of veco ones in stock. now here's where my curiosity kicks in. ! the new arms he had were both in sealed green veco bags but they were very obviously of different quality. the Lh one felt and looked like any of the non gm ones I had fitted in the past. ( sharp edges here and there,lots of very obvious spot welds and the same looking stepped rear vertical bush ) the rh arm however was quite noticeably heavier / thicker metal.seemed much better quality welds and paint.and the rear bush was welded continuously all around rather than just here and there. also the actual rear vertical bush was totally different as well.filled with rubber right up to the sleeve and and curved up to the top of mounting bolt sleeve.there was a large RH label on it too. I've since searched all available pictures of arms on google and for sale on eBay and cannot find any other arms with the same type bush for lhs.only rhs.one has just been found on eBay that looked identical but was described as ,first line,manufacture. I ordered it and it came yesterday. same nice heavy ,RH marker etc ,full bush ....?. so my question is. are these veco / first line ?? RH arms good and can you only find RH ones? ?.its the only arms I've seen with this style of vertical bush. not sure what original gm busehes look like or le former ones.
