If you want the same quality parts
Lemforder make the wishbonds for vx they can be
Had from autovaux for 120 plus delivery a pair. Mention
The forum and i hear they will knock some off.
As said tho pattern parts can be had for 50 a pair. But
Are said not to last as long.
There is a guide on here. Not hard to diy. Just remember
To do the rear mounting point first and torque up
Correctly. 120 nm or something like that. So you need
A big torque wrench i suppose. There is a post
On the board same page as this one that gives the correct
Torque setting.

Never ever ever ever EVER let a dealer work on your
car, unfortunately some things only they can do, but
They are phew
  Honestly.
God alive,...  800 bloody quid.

Welcome to the forum, by the way. :y


At least I managed to control my rant a bit!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y :y :y :y :y

Bought a pair for £46 of Ebay and fitted them myself using the guides from this forum.

They might not last as long as OE ones but at that price I don't care.

God help the omega owner who doesnt know about this site! I have found some paten wishbones and drop links for just £75.00 on ebay and a local garage that will charge me £80 to fit them next week.

I guess I owe all of you have helped a large drink! Lets all drink to Vauxhalls county motor works in Chelmsford not getting their £800 of of me to do the work! I am off of the main dealer route for ever after this.

Thanks guys.
