After having my tyres replaced and bolted on I noticed the front wheel can tilt left and right, could it be anything else apart for the wishbone that needs replacing and is it expensive to change? Probably explains why the ESP flashes on the dash all the time when having fast starts, was hoping it was because of the no tread on my old tyres, fix 1 problem just to find the next, gutted!

Had mine replaced under Peugeot 3 year manufactures warranty back in 2005 & there still on the car now.
Buy cheap = buy twice

buy twice is already very generous.
Adam replace the wishbone 3 or 6 times within a yr

if the wishbone needs replacing you will be able to tell while driving the car. this happened to me and the car was stupidly dangerous to drive. when you break it would turn one way and when you accelerate it will turn the other way. bit scary as you don't know if your going to die while going left or right

I could only tell when having a quick start, it wasn't nothing as major as yours but replaced mine today anyway and tracking done also, now has better handling and distinguish the flashing ESP

It only takes a slight imperfection in the cast to weaken the structural integrity by a long way. One of these goes at speed and you are fubarred... Go for OEM or lemforder - sure they are more expensive, but at least you won't shat yourself every time you hit a pot hole...

Something doesn't sound right here. When you say they are not lasting - I assume you are talking about the ball joint? Surely they cannot be breaking? Otherwise it can only be the bushes and the simple answer to that is to fit poly bushes. Failing that I would check the front subframe for defects, but I really can't see that being the case unless the car has been in the mother of all prangs...

Its the ball joints at fall all the time, every one i change the actuall bushes are fine,
Its always the ball joints that start to knock,
The front sub seams to be fine, had the car 6 years, only had problems the last say 18 months
