Changing Wishbones/Droplinks/ARB

[Craig_B]

Right when we bought the VTS, one I the problems with it was the wishbone, as a result of him hitting a pothole or something.

So plan was to change nearly everything, as we don't want to change the wishbones and then for another problem to arise.

Plan was;

New Wishbones
New Droplinks
Powerflex Wishbone Bushes
Powerflex ARB bushes.
New ARB

But..... can't seem to find a new ARB anywhere. Or would it be allright to use the old one? I don't want to find out its bent

Any Views?

Cheers

bending an ARB is very unusual - replacing the wishbones and droplinks will transform the car. You'll probably find you dont need the powerflex bushes if you're going new with the other parts, but up to you of course - I find the new standard bushes very good for a few years :)

Well we thought we might aswell upgrade as we go along with the Powerflex stuff as most of it is pretty cheap.

The ARB does look very tatty to. It's on a 15 year old car!

As said above i wouldnt change it mate no need unless u can see its damaged ect. Which is a very rare thing. You could if you was really worried buy a 2nd one. But be careful with different sizes ect :)

Yeah there's few different sizes I believe. VTS being 22mm?

Reason for changing is under heavy braking the car felt 'wallowy' if you know what I mean.

We are going to have to take it of to change the bushes over anyway I'm assuming, so will do a proper check and give it a dame good clean when it's off to.
