Wishbones
« on: 02 April 2020, 15:14:10 »
Are Delphi wishbones any good nowadays.
Going to replace mine...in days of old when money flowed, I fitted Lemforder. But as a retired gentleman, who drives at a sedate pace, knocking up about 3000 miles or less a year in the Omega, obviously money has to be 'nurtured'. In laymans terms, I have to justify to 'her indoors'

If TB isn't looking, might IK suggest the ATP wishbone kit - both sides plus drop links and track rods for about £70, delivered? Mine were replaces by Serek in 2017 and still ok.

Thanks for the links, chappings....however, Al, I can't understand a word of the ATP page. Can't see how to add to basket, even.  :-\

Or a lot more bang for your pension.

Is that latter NAG kit at least as good as the ATP branded kits?
Have you tried them out?


 I haven't, but it's cheap, and for the milage your doing, you don't need genuine, mega-costing parts, they will do the job.  Last wishbones, Track-rods, and droplinks I put on mine cost £50, (Poly bushes) from previous set.

I'll have to give ATP a miss, Al. Thanks for that link, though. I registered, and put some stuff in my cart, went to checkout, but in the address dropdown box, there is nothing for the uk. I'll go for the other links. Shame as just the pair of bones were only 42 euro's, mind you I dont know what postage was.
As said, I only use the car to potter around Brackley nowadays, odd trip to Wycombe or Banbury.

Sorry Tony, did you actually try?

Click on Deutschland and scroll down to UK.

Can't be bothered isn't an excuse, and whilst it's entirely up to you where you get bits from, I am genuinely pissed off that I bothered trying to help.  >:(
