bungy 2 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Why are you getting new wishbones, is there something wrong with the ones you have? Link to post Share on other sites
Rayhoop 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I used my original wishbones - but used a press to push out the old bushes and press in the new ones.Tie rods/ball joints. I went with GSF parts, but recently replaced my tie rods with VAG parts as it didnt get through an MOT (later found to be the an issue with the track rod inner joint, or steering rack)... but side to side comparison, the VAG tie-rods look better put together.I picked up my powerflex bushes from Awesome, as they had the best price on-line after VAT/delivery was taken into account.
