#1: driveshafts and wishbones for gti 180 Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 6:34 am ---- Hi everybody !
Iv not been on here properly in a long time and alot of my priorities have changed since earlier on in the year, so unfortunately I will not be going ahead with my original plans for this car but none the less I shall not be getting rid.... ever!. I need a diesel for work but im going to keep the car standard and take her off the road and keep her as a very clean and garaged model as there cant be many red 180's about now (2009 apparently there were 174).
The problem is I will need to replace the wishbones and driveshafts whilst cleaning her up underneath due to the wear on the bushes and cv joints and ill be honest I dont have a clue where to get some good quality driveshafts and wishbones. Iv read a few things about euro car parts driveshaft being of a poor quality but their lemforder wishbones are good??
Any recommendations will be appreciated!
Thanks

Unless ECP do CV joint kits, I'd go to the Peugeot dealer for new shafts.

hmmm this is the sort of answer I was seeing after a quick google search, I had considered peugeot because iv had items from them before at not bad prices, I know they'll cost more than ecp but lets face it the peugeot parts I have fitted now are original and have lasted nearly ten years so hopefully the new Peugeot parts will last just as long

Wishbones are sometimes Quinton Hazel Brand which I find to be great quality. But as Edward explains, Sometimes OE is best for guarantee
