I've taken the front suspension off of the car and stripped it down to piece part level to clean and repaint it but when I got it apart, some of the parts looked a bit dodgy.
I decided to have them shot blasted so I could have a really good look at them and this is what I found.
Lower wishbones
The passenger side wishbones is 7mm narrower at the bushes than the driver's side and the bushes are out of line.
(Yes, that is the aluminium pipe from a Dyson. It happens to be the right size). The dimension across the drivers side bushes is to manual.
The upper wishbones look like this.
and also seem to be twisted across their other axis.
Not a problem, but curious, the shocker brackets are slightly different.
It looks like either there has been some accident damage at some point or, as they've been changed before, the bushes have been pressed in a little enthusiastically, but that wouldn't explain the top wishbones being as they are.
To say I am completely and utterly p****d off is an understatement.
Anyone got a set of good upper and lower wishbones they don't want?
I can take measurments off mine if needed.
