Title: refurb or new wishbones?
Post by: justinread72 on January 1, 2016, 14:49

hi all
removed my wish bones and was wondering what the teams thoughts are on either buying new ones with original bushes or getting my ones powder coated and adding super pro bushes ? car done over 100k

I'm interested in an answer to this as well!

Given that the ball-joint will be fairly worn with that sort of mileage I would consider an exchange unit from gt4-play. Their wishbones come fully powder coated with ball-joint and poly bushes.

New Blueprint wishbones can be had for around a ton...

I went for new aftermarket wishbone arms from A1autos in U.S. Cost £120 including post and taxes. Very happy with them.
