Hey all
i have recenlty noticed some strange tyre where (pervious post) and i done a few checks on the front end and i have a little bit of play and tbh nothing looks in very good condition and could do with being changed
so i am looking at changing
Wishbones
track rod ends
droplinks
just to tighten the front end and steering up a little bit
what would be the best place to get these parts
i have had a look on EGAY.CO.UK and for all of them parts are £78.12 which seem pretty cheap but i dont really want to get low quality parts.
i know some people say try pug them selfs but i phone them and the said it would be £87 per wishbone (wow that seems alot for one part)
can anyonelse recommend and suppliers

The cost of their driveshafts has gone up from £80 to £110 in the last few months. Not particularly cheap.

if you pay £78.12 for all these parts be prepared to do it all again pretty soon.

get the wishbones from pug,you know they wont snap in half or wear out within weeks.track rod ends also don't buy the cheapest you find.drop links don't really matter,not a critical part easy enough to replace.
