Title: Its Here !!
Post by: a2reed on 11 September 2012, 16:43:04
Wishbone change ... my least favourite job.

Will probably go for the"All German Car Parts" place and they sell a couple of types (apart from QH)

http://www.allgermanparts.co.uk/ourshop/cat_277900-Steering-and-suspension-components.html

Which make shall I buy .... Lemforder or Meyle

Never heard of Meyle but they are the most expensive

Anyone have a preference or experience of?

Recent experiences of Lemforder haven't been great :-\ In fact, I've had better life out of eBay cheapies than some have had with LF :-X

That said, the cheap ones from eBay are very hit and miss ::)

Ok I think it will be Lemforder new wishbones....unless... anyone tried the more expensive Meyle ones???

Quick question ... recomended elsewhere on the site is to change the front bush to Nylon before fitting.... I have looked at the guide and getting the old one out seems ok but do I need a press to fit the new ones as from the pics they look like they are in 2 halves sort of suggesting they could be banged in with a rubber mallet.... anyone done this job?....you experience woul dbe welcomed

You'll only need the mallet if you want to fit them sideways ::)
