Wishbones and bushes.

[Steve Webb]

With the imminent arrival of the new suspension :biggrin: I need to get my arse in gear to sort out a few other probs. Namely that my wishbones need replacing, (ball joint is shagged)

So who produces the best quality wishbones?
Are polybushes worth the hastle to fit on new wishbones?
Does anyone do uprated bushes for the ARB ?

Any advise on overhauling the rear suspension bushes etc?

I've yet to have a balljoint wear out on original arms, it's always been the silent blocs that wore out..

So I would get standard arms, from alfa (which are about 2kg lighter than aftermarket parts) and fit them with PU bushes...

can't comment on the rest, but would like to know aswell

whiteline is supposed to produce bushes for ARBs. Check alfa155.org about the details, one of the residents there has direct contacts with whiteline. I'm getting whiteline ARBs myself, planning on replacing the silentblocks on the next set of arms with PU bushes myself, but the current ones are still okay, so no rush.

Which reminds me, I've still got a couple of whisbones with powerflex bushes on them.
I think i'll replace them when the suspension kit is delivered.
