Is there any way to repair a wishbone ?

[Reef]

I kerbed my saxo last week, and the wheel has gone back a bit, i got it checked out and its the wishbone, is there any way to repair the wishbone ? i.e. knock it back into place ?

[Wolz]

No there a high tensile steel (correct me if im wrong) .... you'll need to change it

[hesslevtr]

u can only repair the bush's, thyre a piece of piss to get off at a scrappy mate pm me if you need sum help as you can get a scrappy wishbone for bout 15 quid then put new bush on it for pence and it should be like new, my local place wanted 99 for a brand spanker"!!!! i seen 1 on ebay for 45 i think tho

[hesslevtr]

the actual metal its self is bent not just the bushs worn

id just get a new 1

[lizandcoxxy]

it needs replacing. had to do my driver side when i brought my saxo. now ive got to do the other side. its a bi**h at £63 a pop

[l1ukeRS]

hence y get 1 from the scrappy

[R4T]

why buy new,when you can get 1 from a scrappy!!! previous owner of my car bought 1 for 24 quid

I can provide one for about 25quid, though not in brum till next week. Done about 40k, bushes are mint, not on my car as I hjave grp N rally car efforts (which are essentially the same but with hard arse bushes)

[Reef]

will it fit my saxo vtr 51 plate ?

I have 2 spare in the shed, but I'll no doubt be keeping them as spares. My shed's full :P

Probably best to change the ball joint before fitting a 2nd hand one, as thats the only bit that wears really.

[CampDavid]

reef - yes :)

[Reef]

excellent, let me know when you have it, il sort something out payment & p+P wise. :)

[CampDavid]

Where abouts are you? I can drop it off next week or you can collect from Halesowen. Where are you in the west mids?
