205 Gti Wishbones, Is £46 Each Cheap?

[Guest dimma cakey]

so does £46 sound about the right price to pay for a wishbone? im used to paying £22 for a pair of ford escort 1ns, fare enough they got changed every month,

Depends on the quality and what mfr they are.

[2-Pugs 57]

Yes, thats about right for a pattern part from a factors. But for genuine, they're over £300 each from a dealer

find a motaquip dealer near you and get some motaquip ones they're OE quality so you don't need to replace bushes etc.

 

My local one was about £35 each iirc

[Guest dimma cakey]

there from parkers, there supposed to be £100 each but i have a freind whos the parts manager there so he sorts me out with what i need, i paid £67 for my headgasket set which included stem seals n all the other topend gaskets and head bolts, and cambelt and tensioner

Just thought I'd confirm this, I fitted a set of Motaquip wishbones to Rich705's car yesetrday & checked the bushes for a name.

 

I've got a Pug bush kit downstairs & the bushes are the same so its well worth getting Motaquip wishbones because it saves buying a wishbone bush kit from Pug. going through the hassle of removing the old ones & fitting the Pug ones.

 

Kleiber industries on both sets of bushes.

 

They cost about the same as an aftermarket wishbone as well afaik, circa £45.

Nice one Graham, I fitted some bushes that a mate had got from Neat Auto's, most likely to be Motaquip again as they stock a lot of their stuff as well as Peugeot branded stock, they were Kleiber branded

 

the Febi Bilstein wishbones from GSF about 4 years ago are fine balljoint wise but the bushes were shot, that's 15k miles at the most.
