Supercharged 2 Posted October 12, 2005 Just buy complete new wishbones (come with bushes already in) from VAG, cheaper and easier... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 0 Posted October 12, 2005 not my local vag they want 55 + vat each for just the wishbones. gsf want 13.75 + vat for each wishbone 11.50 for each bush fitting kit i've also ordered new ball joints and got the new pinch bolts, i also know the guy down there and he is gonna sort me out, which is nice of him. it's gonna go in the garage for the work but i was'nt sure if the tracking and camber would need doing??

h100vw 0 Posted October 17, 2005 Tracking and camber will need checking if not adjusting. Anytime you mess with the front suspension you should get it done. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
