Right hello everyone! Yes I am still alive and yes it was fixed the next morning.
As said No idea seeing as i didnt hoon it.
Yep all sorted. £8 from ECP.
It was fitted but yes it fell out :/ Stole another bolt off the estate and now buying new bolts and threadlock to sort it out once and for all this coming weekend.
I have no idea what you guys were doing. I drove between 40-60 all the way depending on the road surface. I think you guys came off the A40 and went down to the M4 and then onto the M25 which is miles longer! At no point was I hooning and you guys somehow took forever to catch up.
Ultimatum... yes it was brave/silly but its all fixed now. The problem was the bolt fell out due to reusing the bolts and not using threadlock. Lesson learnt and tbh its a credit to the meyle wishbones for having such a strong front mounting to survive without the pBush.
Note that this is after ive cut the pbush it didnt come off the car with the angle grinded bits lol!

Seems like some plonker forgot to fit the small bolt in the P bush when fitting wishbones (or it fell out) and it snapped the P bush. Wheel was moving back and forth in the arch by about 3 arches and yet this prat still decided it would be a good idea to take it on track like that and drive it home!
