Topic: Best place to buy front wishbones?? (Read 2901 times)

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

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.....

Good evening Gents, just to thank those who have taken up the Bank holiday 10% discount offer and let you know that these will be despatched as soon as we get back to work tomorrow and all being well you should receive the day after. It does seem that the offer has been a success and I will try to get some other specials sorted for you. Probably Sachs springs and shock absorbers, and TRW brake discs, pads and calipers.
Thanks again for the positive feedback and messages on the forum/with orders : )
Jason

iggy21uk · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 September 2010, 20:16:25 »

Thanks for the good service Jason. Will be interested to know if you can supply the Conti cam belt kit at a good price

Also the other bits for the Omega you may offer

unclelicklug · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 September 2010, 10:36:18 »

Thanks Jason - I can confirm that my wishbones arrived on the Wednesday so 10/10 from me.

vauxsull · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:21:59 »

Well I too have just ordered a pair of Lemforder wishbones from All german carparts as recomended by Elite Pete.. they are more expensive than what I can get from my local car parts supplier but didn't fancy changing them again in a years time.. Would be good to know what they can do for front and rear shocks as i'll be changing them soon ( buying front ones next week)

Jimbob · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:23:45 »

Beleive Vauxhall themselves are quite good for shocks - have you got trade club access?

rears dont seem to be on TC though

vauxsull · « **Reply #21 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:27:33 »

Yes I do have a trade club card and they are good with prices on shocks... if memory serves me right i'm sure they're £50 cheaper for the front shocks and around £30 cheaper for rear because of having the card..

vauxsull · « **Reply #22 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:29:06 »

well I was given a discounted price for the rears when I asked them Jimbob.. I think around £65 ish for a pair..

Jimbob · « **Reply #23 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:30:18 »

cool,

sure they knew its MV6 with lowered suspension?

worth a double check on ordering, may just be the website out of date (wont be the 1st time)

Guess you use deeside? they are normally very helpful anyway.

vauxsull · « **Reply #24 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:32:56 »

Yes I used the deeside dealer and they asked for my reg number and told me the vehicle is an MV6 and gave prices accordingly

Jimbob · « **Reply #25 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:33:31 »

cool, sorted then

ive got em well trained

vauxsull · « **Reply #26 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:35:24 »

Anyway Jimbob why have you listed several prices for the front shocks?

Jimbob · « **Reply #27 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:36:21 »

that is the format from the tradeclub site..

retail, trade, tradeclub, all plus vat

vauxsull · « **Reply #28 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:39:11 »

Ahaaa I see.... I realise I'll be needing spring compressors to do front shocks and I assume Darth has these ?

Jimbob · « **Reply #29 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:40:02 »

would have thought so

vauxsull · « **Reply #30 on:** 02 September 2010, 14:42:24 »

Good... Coz I havn't got any and wouldn't even attempt it if I had

feeutfo · « **Reply #31 on:** 02 September 2010, 15:29:34 »

re springs....?
salloon rear mv6 are listed as “sport” on tc web site. Confirmed by andyc, i have a pair fitted, supplied by him at tc price. Smart 8-)

vauxsull · « **Reply #32 on:** 02 September 2010, 15:53:10 »

Just had phone call from All German carparts and they say they've no more Lemforder wishbones in stock for around 1 month so take this into account people before you order from here... Not a problem I suppose as they did offer me an alternative brand but want to stick with whats recomended by you guys.. Now awaiting a call off them to see if they can beat Vauxalls for front and rear shocks..
