What Rose Joint Wishbones Are These?

[GTI6BOY 29]

Someone selling on eBay but they are not answering my questions

 

Anybody know who made these and if they are any good?

 

Are they worth the money?

 

ebay clicky

compbrake, steer clear in my opinion

[Batfink 201]

s*it ones! Next!

[GTI6BOY 29]

What's the reason for the s*itness?

 

Is there another make I should be looking at? I don't want standard wishbone with stiffer bushes ect

[Tom Fenton 1,542]

Main problem is that they don't clear the standard anti roll bar.

And they're made out of plate and bend!

That's lucky i was messaging him too, but got nothing back and now i see this im glad!

97.7% feedback for a private seller/buyer is your alarm bell too...

 

Regarding rose jointed wishbones themselves... apart from the expense.... is this the way to go when replacing wishbones?

also am I right in thinking the outer pin on the wishbone replaces the ball joint?

[Roon 29 1 Cars]

Ooo just got a message back. Gave me his number and said to give him a ring and make a offer.

 

His feedback is all good from buying but not great from selling which is never good!

the rear rose joints are working in the wrong direction, the arm will just sway in the movement of the joints.

The only ones really are the AB type with the modded outer, Rose joints themselves are around £100.00 each to replace

 

I think KAD do a similar wishbone

These here are Jeff Skitt wishbones, modded to take a rosejoint he has sourced.

Probably an off the shelf 3/4 rose joint rather than the ludicrously expensive special metric (20x16) joints that AB and PTS arms use!

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

they are m20's i remember talking to him at pugfest about them, then running after him telling me a price.

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

But they last,have tried a few others which don't come close

[Tom Fenton 1,542]

The KAD wishbones use a 3/4x3/4 joint, as do the ones we made for Al's rally car, the joints have done 4 events so far so good, when they do develop play, they are cheap enough to replace, bin the old ones and not worry about it whatsoever.

[GTI6BOY 29]

Can you still purchase kad ones as there is nothing on the web site?

How much are these?

[205wrc 16]

The rose joints in Jeff's arms are M20 x 16mm and are cheaper than the PTS ones, but last longer as they have wiper seals on them and no grease nipple.

The price he gave me for them were £80 each for the non-PTS version, £100 each for the PTS type compared to £146 each - the last price I saw on AB Motorsport's ebay page.

[Batfink 201]

You won't get ab Motorsport ones now I don't think

I honestly think the 3/4 joints are overkill. Next set I do will use 3/4x5/8 joints so similarly sized to the PTS ones all be it for £11 a piece

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

i also went for 3/4" joints, plus you can buy off the shelf spacers to 5/8
