Best wish bones to buy - craig306 - 22-07-2016
Hi all :
I need to replace both my wishbones on my 306 hdi 1999,
Where is the best place to get them from,
RE: Best wish bones to buy - MY95 - 22-07-2016
TRW from Misterauto, around £35 each /Thread

^^^That tbh. Don't be tempted by the cheap crap on ebay, quality is awful and they've been known to snap more than once!

meyle HD ones are good and come with pbushes and ball joints. about £90 the pair i think.

i never buy wishbones, just replace the bushes.

this if you've got genuine pug wishbones
or if you don't have a press ..etc then can recommend Meyle HD, even though I've had P-Bushes go on the pair I've had they did come through with a guarantee in the end I was refunded.
RE: Best wish bones to buy - welshpug - 22-07-2016
dont need a press, some threaded bar washers and sockets will do it.

RE: Best wish bones to buy - welshpug - 22-07-2016
hole cutter grinder and chisel to remove old bushes.
RE: Best wish bones to buy - Piggy - 22-07-2016
Grinder to slice through p bush...then smack it.
Front bush, take blade off hacksaw, run through then reattached and cut through...then smack ouf

If you are taking it to a garage, then going the replacement bush route will cost a bit less in parts and a bit more in labour.
If you're going for replacement arms, then parts will be more and labour will be less.
You've got a stage 1 remap + some other performance parts, so while you are here, grab some powerflex polybushes and for the P bush I hear Citroen Berlingo P Bushes are an upgrade, slightly stiffer bushes will get you handling that bit better.
RE: Best wish bones to buy - Frosty - 22-07-2016
Same as what so other the others have said, i would rather stick to original arms and just replace the bushes after seeing some of the aftermarket arms snap bushes off from the poor build quality.
That said if you are going go for arms it's better to go for decent brands like TRW or meyle HD ones. It does save the bit of hassle fitting the bushes.
