wishbone wanted...

[andyg plym]

ok another victim of the snow, bounced off a kerb and the drivers side wheel is now tucked up closely to the rear of the wheel arch. cannot confirm if it is the wishbone itself(was dark) but a couple of Q's :

Anyone got a spare? Pref in the west country?

Gsf appear to list them, but does it come with ball joints?

cheers for any help

cast or pressed?

cast or pressed?

pete you ever wached finding nemo? with them seagulls??

i havent even looked under the car yet, the balljoint was a bit loose after the brake refitting so it could just be that but i am pretty sure its the wishbone itself

i think mine are cheapy pressed ones but tbh im not bothered which ones i fit as long as it works! You got a spare? may as well just pay my wages to you each week

cast or pressed?

Sorry for the double post, on a mobile connetion at the second. If your balljoint wasn't done up i'm surprised the cars still in one piece as the feel/handling of the car would be worrying. If you can find out what you've got then we can see, you may be lucky and the ball joint be the issue.

If that its the wishbone and its pressed you can buy them from gsf etc but if its pressed its the forum or audi unfortuantely (if audi ain't nla)

arent they interchangable? sure i had an s2 with both types, one on either side before.

the balljoint bolt is tight but i meant there is play in it. worrying yes

but you know how it is, life,work then when you do find time its freakin bad fekin weather

[Acidburn]

Yes you can use either a pressed or cast wishbone but I found that with the pressed it slightly lowered my car (well enough for the 19's to catch on the drivers side when the garage damaged my cast wishbone and I was forced to use 1x pressed 1x cast)

i will try and look today, but anyone know if gsf do one with balljoint + bushes?

[Rocco]

the pressed ones are the weaker from the small coupe engines??

[Error404]

I'm sure Pete at QC will have these on the shelf, Febi ones come with bushes already installed. Ball joint is a separate item BTW Andy

[Acidburn]

He is after a drivers side cast wishbone if anyone has one

[andyg plym]

checked this earlier this morning and the rear arm on the wishbone looks like a banana!!

wasnt a bad smack,but a fairly square hit. I suppose im lucky in some ways

Dont forget to get the wheel alignment done again.
Tavistok tyres have the hunter system and do a good job adjusting toe and camber

Not to far from you aswell
