Ebay wishbones
« on: 28 October 2014, 18:25 »
Hi guys,

Anyone had any experience with buying the £60ish a pair of wishbones from Egay?

I am keen to replace all of my bushes on my wishbones, and maybe even my wishbones and as time is precious I'm planing on having a pair with new bushes already in, so I can just switch 'em right out?

Any suggestions,

Cheers.

Also, are the wishbones compatiable within the models, ie 1.8T same as the 1.9TDI's?

I got a second hand set, blasted them and fired on some paint then fitted the TT/R32 solid rear bush and new standard bush.

There's only one standard wishbone the R32 has the different one.

Fitted a set to mine when I had it

What I did do though was fit them with OEM balljoints and TT bushes

Why go for unknown quality spurious wishbones, a good branded wishbone by firstline is only £26 each (without ball joint) or febi is £36 (without ball joint)

b.t.w i stock r32/tt spec rear arm bushes by febi £26 pair (or i can do genuine)

This is what I think I am going to do...

Second pair I guess? I'd also like to paint them, keep them looking clean  :smiley:

Boney - I'll PM you, see what we can come up with. Your sounds better than the egay options...
