Wishbones - Where from?

moomin · 29-05-09, 10:53 AM

I need to replace the wishbones bushes on the Coupe GT5E, which is do able but I thought I save my self the effort of bashing the hell out of the old ones by buying new wishbones.

GSF only list them for non-powersteering and they are only £16 each with bushes fitted (£4 more than just the bushes)

Would these work on mine it has PAS?

Or

Where can I get some new ones with bushes in, this is all because I'm lazy and like throwing money at things for no reason

Send em to me and ill extract em.
Ive just done mine no problem.

Or....just get a vice and two tubes, one to fit over the fat end of the bush, the other to slip just inside.

Get a compliant friend to hold one end ( ooerr) and then line the small tube up and wind the vice up so it pushes the bush out.
No sweat, no need to swear, make a racket or kick the cat.
Putting em backs just as easy.
