Seen worse tbh. But that has failed.

I will never personally recommend anything other than Lemforder for wishbones.

Get them from allgermanparts.com not a factors. £130 to the door last I looked. Latest ones are date stamped.

You will need a nut for the sensor bolt if you have hids though.

Can you not just fit genuine VX bushes to your arms???

As for VAUXHALL CAR PARTS, his home page states "We are a specialist in and have massive stocks of NEW GENUINE VAUXHALL CAR SPARE PARTS"
This does imply they are GENUINE VAUXHALL CAR SPARE PARTS no???

Would that be the reason for the pulling to the left.

Difficult to say, but there is no point getting the car set up with those rearward bushes in that state. Rectify the fault, be sure to re torque the bolts correctly ( no need for wheels to be loaded if pollyed) to 120nm plus 30 plus 15 degrees. Then get Wim to check the car over before set up.

However if you can get the car over here, happy to go over it with you.

Cheapest would be to press a new bush in. IF you have the resources to do it yourself. Paying a professional to do it isn't viable as it takes too long. May as well fit new wb complete.

It takes about 1 ton of pressure to press the rear bush. Logistics is the thing with pressing. DIY the whole job or , remove wb's DIY then find a garage with a press and ask them to press bushes in... ?
