hi, where can i get some decent wishbones from, got some from andrew pages and have only lasted 5 months.
-
I just bought front wishbones and ball joints off ebay for £40 delivered and they fit perfect but only time will tell how long they last.
-
There are some cast ones in the classifieds. Good price I'd say. Snap em up before I do! :rolleyes:

Get genuine ones from TPS if you want them to last :smiley:

Are these off a TT? I think you need to change hubs and ARB/drop links to fit these to a Golf........ :undecided:

I think the best ones to get are the cast oem ones that are fitted on the tt,r32 and lcr. I always thought they where a straight swap ???

Perhaps you have to change the hubs etc if are running the hub sizes that the 1.4/1.6s run? The 1.8T are the same size aren't they, just smaller disks? :undecided:

Forgot to say I'm in the process of a 1.4-1.8t swap , when I get some cast ones myself I'll check to see if they fit on the old 1.4 setup.

I've got some cast wishbones and hubs that I'm open to sensible offers on :)

I'm pretty sure the TT droplinks are attached to the hubs/struts, and not off the wishbone as per Golf :wink:

Its a parts depot for VAG cars (Owned by VW) - they sell all genuine parts and keep lots in stock unlike most dealers :smiley:
