Wishbone Bushes And Discs

[richors 0]

Had a bit of a mishap on track yesterday when 3 wheel bolts came out and ended up with smashed disc and stripped threads etc - could have been a lot worse though.

Anyway, on inspection today the wishbone bushes are shot on drivers side which is clearly why the car was moving around even in straight lines - metal tube in center has come away from the bush - so the questions are - do people reckon poly bushes or standard?

How much are wishbones complete compared to just bushes and where is best place to buy?

 

Also, now i need new discs, the ones i have removed are 283mm and the calipers have what look to be different mounting brackets on with 3mm spacers to ensure wheels clear the calipers.

When buying new discs can i assume the 206/307 ones are ok for bolt spacing etc to go onto 205 1.9 gti hubs etc?

Just want to be sure i get correct ones. Again, where is best place to buy?

 

thanks for any help.

 

cheers

The genral concencus is that the genuine pug bushes are better than the poly bushes. they're stiffer, cheaper and they last longer.

Cheers - will get those then.

The bushes come in a pack from pug with new bolts, far far cheaper as a kit rather than individual bushes.

 

Can't remember the part number but should come up on a search - has been covered so many times.

Richors, the part number for the bush kit is 3599.07, costs approx £20 for enough bushes to do both wishbones & comes with new nuts & bolts.

 

Infact the kit is cheaper than buying two of the wishbone bushes individually.

How are you by the way - not seen you at trackdays recently. Still doing many?
