[WeeStu]

hi guy's
quick question.would the wishbones on a mk1 vtr fit on my mk1 westcoast or are they different.just that there's a guy scrapping a vtr that lives close and they are relitivley new ones that he's selling

cheers

i would imagine so. there are 2 types of wishbone, the ones AX's and lower spec saxo's use (mainly the older 3 stud ones) and the other one lol

eg: ones that i had on my 1.1

yeah, thats the one's in the second picture.so they should fit ok then. (hope so)

no they wont work, the arb connects to the wishbone on the 1.4, on the vtr/s the arb is connected to drop links, so if you fitted vtr wishbones to your 1.4 then there wont be a mounting point to bolt the arb to.

if you did want to use the vtr wishbones you would also need the vtr struts and droplinks

Westcoast, Furio (both 1.4) use exactly the same wishbones as the VTR/VTS so those wishbones will be fine.

The westcoast and furio are the more sporty 1.4's. The very bog standard 1.4 flat arch which if i remember is usually automatic may use the more basic wishbones with the arb bolted to them.

Westcoasts use same setup as vtr/s so will be fine

for some reason in the last few days in my head i thought that furios had the same brake/suspension set up as 1.1's, not a clue why though...

thanks for the reply guy's,wishbone's fits a treat and no bloody banging noises now.
i take it the westcoast is pretty much a vtr but with a smaller engine size then??.

can you 110% defo change the ball joints on the VTS and VTR wishbones? Iv heard from a few people you cant?

[saxo-parts]
