Hi all

Well i think i have a few jobs needing doing shortly  :-/ ... car tramlining so i'll assume i'll need either wishbones or steering idler or both as nothing else has been touched such as tyres etc  .... can i have a few pointers as to which brands to buy or avoid ...which brand of wishbones are good ?
I can buy the parts but i think wishbones and idler would be above my capabilities so would be a garage job :-/
Does anyone north of the border know a good place to have the camber checked after these jobs get done ... probly wont be for a month or two though 

Thanks

Can no one recommend a brand of wishbone or steering idler  :-/

[davethediver]

Do the wishbones need doing or is just the bushes that are gone, Turks thread on polybushes is an interesting read

As for steering idler DO NOT use pattern ones as they are s**t just do a search on flea bay about thirty quid should get you a decent one.

Im not sure if the wishbones are shot or not but the car seems to have started tramlining quite badly lately and has a very slight knocking at front end , i have just had the drop links done but its still there although not as bad as before .... i did see some on ebay but just wanted to make sure i avoid the bad ones

So as a spanner novice without stuff like axle stands or the like how can i find out whats causing my tramlineing .... should i just grab the steering idler and see if it moves  :-/

IIf you can slide under the car give it a go, not sure if the wheels need to be under load but don't think so
