Kennyb 0 Posted November 5, 2007 My 205 is eating bottom arms, probably because of the 17" i have on it. Is there anyone who doe's uprated or good quality wishbones??? Does anyone else have this problem?? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
large 33 Posted November 5, 2007 Is it the ball joint or is it the hole the ball joint fits into. I have had this on a 205 and a 306. The hole on the bottom of the suspention leg can become egg shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
