Rear Wishbone?

ardvark · 28th August 2011, 17:09

Am I blind or what? Reading that article in the Car Mechanic and it mentioned the rear wishbone bushes being the "achilles heel" of our cars. I've looked at Rimmers, Rave, Haynes and non of them mention wishbone bushes. No wonder the likes of me get confused. What name do them 3 call them?

No Mate sounds like it's the rear bush on the front suspension lower arm they are talking about.

Yup I would agree with that, just a word of warning if you have to change them, don't get the cheap ones on ebay unless you want to do them again in a couple of months

The right one is to be found from Jules ( a member on here) very competitive price per pair and super quality.

Or pay RRP at Rimmer Brothers

Avoid the cheapo ones at all costs (they are cheap for a reason!!). I bought some off Ebay and they lasted 15 months. I have now fitted Unipart ones so hopefully these will last a few years.
