Lower Wishbones Question

[Guest RESTELL]

Hi everyone, well this is my first post on here, ive recently brought my first 205 GTi 1.9 in white and i love it. I will do a resto post later showing the car and its progress.

 

Anyway, i need new lower wish bones as the ball joints on both are worn with tired rubber gaitors, and all bushes are knackered!

 

Where do you guys buy these items from? Im intending to use OEM quality parts, but do you literally ask ur local pug dealer for these, or go with aftermarket parts? Has anyone used 'Eurocarparts' or pugspares?

 

Any recommendations?

 

cheers all, looking forward to sharing more in the future.

You could contact Miles on here who supplies Motaquip (OEM Quality/Spec Parts) Wishbones, not that expensive, certainly alot cheaper than peugeots £200 or so a side!

 

Got some pictures up, always nice to see a new car to the fold.

It tends to be the bushes that are poor quality in the GSF type 'bones. Quite a few people on here buy the cheap wishbones and an OEM bush kit and replace poor quality ones. Works out alot cheaper than full OEM wishbones.

It's best to use Motaquip ones and I got mine from Miles, but you can also get them from here: http://www.motaparts.com.

 

AFAIK these are the same as the OE ones, but a fraction of the price!
