Might be wrong but I thought Lemforder supplied GM with the wishbones :-/ :-/

as said before ......
Heinz suplly HP beans, but they're different from Heinz Beanz (well, the beans are the same but the sauce is different  )

So what`s the difference (apart from price) between Lemforder bones and "genuine" :-?

Maybe AndyC has the answer

Excellent info.

Makes me wonder if it's worth investing in a press and a load of genuine GM bushes as they appear to be not that unreasonably priced?

Then again, they are an absolute 'stard to press even then, IME, and I think there'd be an attrition rate of arms getting knackered in the process. :-/

Might be worth just resolving to feed it a pair of 25 quid arms every couple of years? (Plus alignment afterwards, of course) :-/

Just a note on bolts, there was some discussion as to weather these are supplied with lemforder wishbones, they are not, the nuts for the bolts are supplied, as are the the nut and bolt for the steering knuckle end. But no bush bolts....

As in the pair delivered from all German parts with sealed bags, the bolts had not been lost from the bag.

Not too difficult with suitable sized drifts & do-nuts underneath to support the actual wishbone.
