Therusterman 59 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hello all, got some lowering springs on the way, and a ball joint to replace. Was also considering replacing the struts and wishbones aswell, any suggestions on what to use? And whilst I've got everything apart, what else is worth replacing, oh and the front top mounts were replaced around a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The wishbone originals can be a bit of a pain to get out, you have to just destroy them to remove them and they have metal centres, drilling works best. The new front ones would just push in and the rears you just grease them up and stamp on them, transforms the car.This is for poly bushes i might add, OEM bushes are just as much a nightmare to fit as to remove unless you have a press.The ebay ones are cheap, as a comparison my full car kit of polyflex were £180 so nearly twice the price.
