The price for wishbones varys really to what quality of wishbone you want:y

Let me put it this way, if I were needing to do my own cars wishbones, I would fit Vauxhall ones as they last.  :y


Daz,
Thanks for your honesty. Do you mean buy the complete GM unit as opposed to replacing the bushes with GM ones?

Chris,
Thanks for your input. As you say, varying experiences from different people. I'll need to decide soon as the inside edge of the front tyres are just starting to show the signs. Are we all agreed that although GM bones are grossly overpriced, we would go down the genuine route if money wasn't an issue?

Regards
Alan

Wooooo. Might have a re-think on that money comment as I just called Vauxhall dealer and he quoted over £500 for the pair.  :D :D
I know I'm going deaf in my old age but I thought he said £228 each plus vat so the price Chris mentioned was pretty much bang on. Scary.
Oh yeah, they are not on trade club either.

Try Larkspeed for the poly bushes, they`re £61.70 for the wishbone & ARB kit and postage is free.

I got mine from them and will be fitting them on Friday. Price is right, but don't expect them in a hurry!

Although to be fair, they do quote a long lead time.

They probably don`t even stock them, just get them sent straight from powerflex.
 BTW how long did it take cos i`m gonna order some so I`d best get them before my wishbones.

I got my genuine VX ones as surplus stock from a dealer via http://www.carpartsconnexion.com/ at a 'good' price. ;)

Also handy for SAAB and Landy bits.....   :y

Couldn't we petition Vauxhall Trade Club via ABS to put them back on.  ;D
