[Steering & Suspension] Wishbones, good makes?
#11
"Holy Thread Revival, Batman!"

Yup balljoints have failed already! so they lasted six months before they started creaking.

Again, desperately seeking least sh1t replacement wishbones.

AI suggested TRW, then just after I've ordered a pair, second AI search now says TRW are now racing to the bottom with malayan & chinese suppliers, with crappy balljoints.

Sigh!

Help!

As I had fitted pressed steel wishbones last year, I'm getting "Febi 31811"  (18mm cone)  German made (allegedly)  ball joints.  Assuming the 10 month old rubber bushes on wishbones aren't rotted goo yet.
Drilling out the rivets of the knackered baljoints awaits.
Comedy series of errors for your entertainment, coming soon. Cool
