anyone???

Either fit new bushes in the back of the wishbone, or just fit some new wishbones.

They often look deteriorated but work fine, I'd be tempted to leave it till the point it actually gets movement in it.

nice 1 mate i think the is movement in them on full oock & when turning sumtimes.

where would the best place to get them from?? SEAT?

 

[mr_D]

or euro car parts.

This has happened on my G/F's 2002 KA. It's only done 18K lol

Fairly straight forward mate I think. New wishbones would probably be better but cost a little more.

If it gets worse, get it done. If it completely colapses, it'll sound like your car is falling apart lol

would powerflex bushes any good ?

Don't think was exactly the same advisory, but I had something similar to this on my last MOT a year ago, but on my most recent one a few days ago, although I failed it on stuff completely different, the lower suspension arm advisory I had last time didn't even come up this time! So I'm guessing it can't be too major??????

yeah so many MOT'ers are so random at times! depends how good they slept that night lol

the bushes will be starting to crack and stress which will mean they will need replaced in the future, but because there is no excessive play or lift it cant be failed ( think its 3mm of movement) just replace them with polyflex bushes if your worried or bothered by it.

 

[L31GH C]

nice 1 people, anyone no were i can get polyflux 1's from??? as SEAT want £15 each side for standard 1's so might aswell get good 1's.

don't supose anyone's got a picture so i know exactly what i need???

cheers

 

[suj]

just did a google for you mate, and the first site was this http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=2413PF85201E&a=i pictures are just generic!

actually mate, just get it off their own website http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/Ibiza+(1993-2002)-629/1.html much cheaper

 

[L31GH C]

nice 1 suj which 1's i need??? (PFF85-204) Front Wishbone Rear Bush ??? or (PFF85-201) Front Wishbone Front Bush ???

 

[EZ Tutty]

i've just done the poly upgrade on my wishbones.

For the Advisory it sounds like you need the 'PFF85-204' ones.

However you could fit both sets while your at it.

I've fitted both to mine.

 

[Gordz]

Have you tried ebay? First place I'd look to save a few bob on them!

 

[EZ Tutty]

have a look on AwesomeGTi or speak to Bill (Bager5)

 

[L31GH C]

cheers people

yeah think i'm going to do both sets to be fair may aswell, but also thinking of doing them all @ somepoint (front & rear)

 

[Davem]

as suj said leigh.. call gsf.. usually okay price.

 

[L31GH C]

do they do the powerflex 1's there??
