that all depends on how shot the old ones are.

You can't tell by 'looks ok'.   You need to put a lever against the front wishbone bush and pull against it.  Then judge how much play there is.

How are your tyres wearing?

Tbh unless the old whishbones are totaly shot you probably wont notice any difference. I know this as i changed all the things your going to last week and it didnt do anything towards the handling. Did stop the knock i had though.

i bought new wishbones, cause i was sure one of our three Omegas might need them, they didn't!

Mines on 113k, still fine.

Dads on 101k, still fine.

Mother tunnies on 80k again fine!

 :o

I got a set of Wishbones here if anyone needs them!  ;D
