Front Lower Wishbone (which one?)

[migueldefender]

Hello,

I have to change my front lower wishbone before my portuguese version of MOT, however I do not know which one should I buy.

On eBay there are a lot of wishbones for sale, but in any of them there are the manufactor brand, however for the entire kit the prices go from 90£ to 250£. apparently with no differences.... :p

Do you recommend some wishbone in particular?


My best regards,
Miguel

Hi Mate,
I had the drivers side renewed 3 years ago with none original parts,it failed my last MOT JUNE 2018. I got two years motoring around 8-9 thousand miles. It cost me from the garage just for this part £120 with no labour. I looked around and asked about ORIGINAL SPEC MG ROVER PARTS.The originals where made by LEMFORDER no longer available. I sourced parts made to the ORIGINAL SPEC from MG ROVER PARTS £140.00 each if they are correct in there ad then I do not have to worry,they will see me out.I have sourced all my spares from MG ROVER PARTS. I had both front wishbones renewed along with the drop links.
hope this helps
regards Arthur

I really hope you are proved correct ...


But . in 2014 i had a lower arm replaced from the biggest most reputable MGR supplier ??? .. and it lasted about 11-12k miles .
That was then repalced by a QH arms which has done around 22k ..but now is knocking ..
And got some new ones to go on..again from a "reputable" Source..


But Hmmmm..

They all come from the far east, some at best Ok, with pointless warranties, or they are Junk with fake credentials.


There is just no quaility control just bash them out and make up the paperwork ..


Just stepping off my soapbox now
