wishbones which ones

GED75 · 22nd February 2014, 12:05

ok ive had a knocking from the front end for the past few weeks,today ive had a chance to jack the car up and have a look and it didnt take long to find the culprit the lower control arm bush is totally shot,the one that bolts to the hub,unfortunately these cant be replaced and i have to buy the whole assembly ,ive just checked rimmers and there £ 150 per side

and that does not include the rear bush

so my question to you good people is ,can anyone recommend a good quality alternative ,i always thought that oem parts were the best option but my car as only done 45k and the ball joint as failed so soon, which means im not so keen to go along the rimmers /oem route .many thanks

I've had good feedback on the arms and bushes I supply:

OEM seem to last very well, however I know a member had issues with OEM Lemforder arms he sourced not so long ago.
I'm sure other members will weigh in with other options.

The ones I usually have in are Comline, with FEBI/Bilstein bushes.

Not had a problem with them so far.
