Roller bearing wishbone issues - dr_jekyll - 08-06-2015
Running the lynx engineering rollerbearing setup on my estate and on the journey home the passanger side has developed alot of excessive play. Ive fully maintained and kept these greased but looks like there now dieing. I will have been the third owner of these now and theyve been on my car for just over a year aswell as serving a long time on an s16 before me.
Just wondering if anyone else has experieced problems like these? Checked all bolts and is deffinatley the bearings at fault. Popped lynx an email last night asking if they do a replacement bearing kit so guess time will tell.

Find out the number on the bearings and go looking elsewhere

They don't last as long as conventional bushes. Personally on a road car I don't think they are worth it. Lots of maintenance, cost a fair bit to replace the bearings when they fail.

Originally bought these 2nd hand off aggy who ran them on an s16 before me for about a year and he actually bought them 2nd hand too so cant complain
Cant an email back from lynx engineering. Been supplied the part numbers aswell as being advised to replace the pbush sleeves. All in to completley rebuild these its gonna cost me £64 which i think is more than reasonable
