    Coupe rear wishbone(s)

    Whilst inspecting my diff mounts this afternoon to try and trace a clunk on the back that's been there since I've had the car I noticed my nearside rear wishbone is slightly on the piss. It's further evidence of a smack on that corner which has had obvious body repairs in the past.

    The car's tracked up OK but I'd rather not leave it like that so has anybody got a nearside spare that's not too rusty knocking about, or I'd take a pair in really good condition.

    I'm going to phone TPS on Monday to see how much new ones are, has anybody purchased one lately and if so are they sanely priced? If their not silly money I'm quite tempted to replace the pair as I'm sure they get weak with age and rust.

    Aren't they the same as the fronts it's the exception of the ball joints. If so after market pressed ones are readily available

      aren't rear ball joints only held on with 2 bolts? I think there is a difference between front and rear?

            If you do have them they sound just the job.

            Should also mention I'm not fussed about bushs as I'll be transfering my existing poly's over.

                ...ok, so the good news, I have them and they look in good shape. The less good news is that they are not refurb'd - could have sworn i put both the set on the car and that pair through the local blaster/p-coating guy with the subframe i had done.

                Drop me a pm if you fancy...

                Cheers

                      Thanks Alex, however Davids sorted me out a pair, I'm going to get them both blasted and galvanised so they match.
