Front lower suspension components

Typhoon190 · 3rd June 2012, 21:49

The 75 is in need of some work on the front suspension for the MOT.

Does anyone have any recommendations, or warnings, on replacing front lower wishbones, front wishbone rear bushes, and droplinks please, with regards to aftermarket replacements?

I can't see any kits for replacing the rubber boots on the lower wishbones.

Ta.

If it is the one I'm thinking of (very large at the bottom, small at the top), you can get those from any well stocked car accessory shop for <£1 each. They are a common part for many cars.

I got my wishbones from these people

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/jpr225

and the bushes from these

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/redlinecarparts

and no problems as yet - but its only been 2000 miles so far.

I could not get the bush inner rings from the wishbone ends either on or off the car, so i replaced both bushes and wishbones.

never bought these oparticular parts from then but have bought Lexus wishbones form them.
AVOID!
The ones they sent me (nand other Lexus LS forum members) were cheap and nasty with rubbish rubber boots on the ball joints that split in months and let all the cr%p in. If you complain they hang up on you.

Yep the JPR ones the ones I used. Lower arms are Excel branded. Got FEBI bushes from them too. All seems good. Delivery was amazingly quick!
