Title: replacement front steering/ suspension components
Post by: robjackson on 01 February 2014, 22:53

Hi guys.
I was looking at this package on ebay for wishbons, ball joints, bushing and fixtures for 45 delivered.
Does anyone agree that this little lot should be all I nedd to straighten up my wonky front end that iv ruined myself due to poorly fitted front coilovers, 25mil spacers and crap budge tyres. (I'll be replacing the coilies too)
Any comments would be great thanks.

What package exactly?

If you are getting the wishbones, ball joints etc for £45, you'll probably need to replace them again within a few months, especially if your running your car low (I assume you are).

The forum sponsor offers a package similar to what you need with good quality components...worth a look.

Is yours a GTI/VR? as the ebay kit is for std set up only

I only sell febi or meyle components as you should only need to do them once every so many years (even vvith the state of uk roads) I am unsure the ebay kits vvill last that long (unbranded china imports are very iffy on strengh/build)

My kits are these for the GT/VR http://oemandmore.co.uk/suspension--steering-15-c.asp (http://oemandmore.co.uk/suspension--steering-15-c.asp) and offer a good saving
pm me if your not gti for price or a half kit deal etc

Cheers guys. Couldn't get the link to pop up here.

Its not gti/ vr,
Its a lowly 1.9 tdi, 90. It was ace for a while, but after hammer, amd the issues I mentioned before, its time to try and make it last alot longer, and bounce back better than ever.

I'd gladly pay a bit more for better quality kit,so I'm glad I queried it on here.
Many thanks.

Wishbones is a defo, the bushes that go along with it too of course, and ball joints may aswell be dome too. Pads are on the list, (got them), and hav new discs/ hubs + bearings f+r.
Just need new f-top mounts, got tyres, jobs a goodun. She should roll 'as-new'.
