Title: Front Lower Wishbone Arms - used/refurb/new?
Post by: alexmaccoll on August 03, 2010, 08:25:57 AM

Hi there,

Need a pair of Front Lower Wishbone arms + bushes - any idea where I can source these?

Having a really hard time finding them.

Betaboys can supply the bushes - look for the parts link at the top of the forum page.

The arms themselves  - there are a few Betas being broken on E-Bay and AFAIK they're all the same.

Oh and wlecome....why to introduce yourself and your Beat in the new members section?

Thanks. Will do!

Looking on ebay - will email a couple of sellers. We are taking this beta on a charity "banger rally" down to Italy (and hopefully home again)

It is a very pretty car

I took some pictures of the wishbones - do you think they need to be replaced or is it just the bushes?

I can't see any damage or major corrosion.

Hard to tell from the pics, bushes definately need replacing and you should improve it a bit with the poly bushes instead of rubber anyway. If the wishbones look ok to you, i'd get a wire wheel on them, see what they look like after that and if still ok give them some paint to protect from future rusting.
