I think I accidently stumbled upon one earlier - Ape wrote it. It's in the How To section, I think under maintenance!

Hope that helps!

It just takes A LOT of force to pop it back on under the hub once it is attached to the car.

Top mounts? Drop links? I'd have done both while changing the wishbones.

stands to reason if one part of suspension is worn the rest wont be far behind,edward is right its not much extra money or work to do top mounts while your at it.unless your getting shot of the car of course.just clocked the time,goodnight. Surprised

Gti 180 wishbones are GTi wishbones. I'd avoid cheap crappy Ebay parts.
