Which Place For These Washers.

[woodsy 0]

Hi guys , iam just in middle of refitting my powdercoated subframe and painted suspension parts etc.Basically i have replaced all the nuts and bolts but

was wondering about the wishbone bolts where they bolt to subframe do they have the washers on the nut side or the bolt head side as cant bloody remember.Thanks

[Baz 421]

Pretty sure they haven't no.

Mine has got washers both side.

[welshpug 1,645]

servicebox says yes

[Tom Fenton 1,536]

I think yes, the wishbone kit with the new bolts comes with enough washers for both sides both bolts.

[Baz 421]

Proves my short-term memory's shot!!

probably doesn't make a difference, but one side of the bolt has flexi washer and the other side a thicker flat washer

Has anyone bought a new set of these wishbone bolts/nuts/washers recently? I tried to get them through my local Pug dealer back in the summer and they weren't able to get them - so they said. I checked a few months ago and they were still "on order"...

If you have only one washer, fit it next to the nut....this is how they are on my car and as far as I know is best engineering practice, other than washers both ends.

Don't they come with the wishbone bush kit for 17 quid? So maybe worth trying with that part number! If so, i need to order some myself!

luckily i purchashed quite a few before they became NLA. i know the rear top shocker bolts are another bolt which is NLA

 

i've got a few good condition bolts and washers which i'll be hanging onto, and just need cleaning up and re-plating

[welshpug 1,645]

just use the 306 top damper bolt instead then Jord, its pretty much identical, as are a hell of a lot of bolts, most of them are cheaper too.

 

like front 1.9 caliper bolts, same size as one off a 306 that's 99p instead of £4 odd.

The wishbone bush kit is showing as still availble on service box, 3599 07 £23.71.

 

Just rung my local Pug parts & ordered one, should be in by next week.

I take it it's one kit per wishbone?

The kit does both sides.

 

The last one I bought had some screws where my previous one had bolts - which I was not happy about.

No, as said above, that's a kit for both wishbones with new nuts & bolts.

 

Mine was in on Saturday but I wasn't so I picked it up today, £21.81.
